General info |
An automation tool for Behavior-Driven DevelopmentThe specifications are written in plain texts, which allows them to be easily understandable for all stakeholders. Cucumber Framework also supports languages beyond Ruby e.g. Java, JavaScript and Scala. |
Rich testing framework for GoGocheck is a richer testing framework for Golang libraries and applications that includes checkers and assertions among many other features, it also works as an extension to the testing package and 'go test' |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesYou can test the front-end part like the GUI using cucumber and selenium, they integrate well to test your front-end. |
YesYes, supports end-to-end testing so various front-end components can be tested |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYou can test back-end components such as APIs using rest & soap clients, and databases using whatever client libraries were provided by the libraries that existed in those stacks |
YesYes end-to-end testing means that various back-end components and behaviour can be tested |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
|
YesFixtures are available with Gocheck either per suite and/or per setup and teardown |
Group fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data for a group of tests (group-fixtures). This ensures specific environment for a given group of tests. |
YesUsing the cucumber extension aruba you can create fixures in two steps: 1.Create a fixtures-directory; 2.Create fixture files in this directory |
YesGroup fixtures are available as a suite |
Generators
Supports data generators for tests. Data generators generate input data for test. The test is then run for each input data produced in this way. |
YesYou can group your fixtures inside your fixtures directories |

Mocks
Mocks are objects that simulate the behavior of real objects. Using mocks allows testing some part of the code in isolation (with other parts mocked when needed) |
YesBy using all of RSpec’s supported mocking frameworks (RSpec, Mocha, RR, Flexmock) |
YesThrough third party libraries like gomock |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesCucumber allows the use of tag Cucumber feature files or individual tests to group tests. Then, you can pass a Cucumber tagged expression at test execution that specifies the tag (grouped) tests to run. https://www.toolsqa.com/cucumber/cucumber-tags/ |
YesWhen testing, developers can create suites of tests |
