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

	Ginkgo http://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/	XCTest https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xctest
Programming language	Go	Swift
Category	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing	Unit Testing, Performance 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	XCTest is the default testing framework for unit tests, performance tests, and some level of UI tests for iOS apps. XCTest framework is a testing framework that enables developers write basic unit tests, performance tests, and some level of UI tests for iOS apps.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes Yes, it is an xUnit style framework
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 Developers can test individual front-end components with XCTest
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Yes by creating unit tests then testing various back-end components	Yes Yes, developers can test individual back-end components with XCTest
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	N/A	Yes XCTest contains setup() and teardown() fixture methods for setting up and destroying test environments
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	Yes Group fixtures are available in XCTest
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'	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	Apache License 2.0
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 You can create protocol mocks and class mocks with libraries such as MockFive or Cuckoo
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	Yes Developers can define test suites from the XCTestSuite class
