Ginkgo vs Hound comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Ginkgo and Hound?

	Ginkgo http://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/	Hound https://github.com/HashNuke/hound
Programming language	Go	Elixir
Category	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing	Browser Automation, Intergration Testing
General info	BDD testing framework for Go Ginkgo is a BDD testing framework for Go that has a great matcher library to go with it called Gomega and intergrates with the standard testing library	Elixir library for browser automation and writing intergration tests It is a front-end testing library that has support for: Selenium (Firefox, Chrome), ChromeDriver and PhantomJs. Also supports JavaScript applications and retries tests a few times before reporting errors
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	Yes Yes, by creating unit tests then testing individual front-end components	Yes Allows for browser Automation and writing of end-to-end tests for web apps, supports Selenium WebDriver, ChromeDriver, and PhantomJS - GhostDriver
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Yes by creating unit tests then testing various back-end components	N/A
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	N/A	N/A
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.	N/A	N/A
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.	Yes They are available by running the command: 'ginko bootstrap'	Yes Not inbuilt but by use of a third party library like ExopData
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	MIT License
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)	Yes Dvelopers can generate mocks by using the third party package 'gomock'	Yes Yes, through the use of a third party library like Mockery
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Ginkgo allows you to group tests in 'Describe' and 'Context' container blocks. It also provides 'It' and 'Specify' blocks to hold your assertions	N/A
