| General info |
Rich testing framework for Go Gocheck 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' |
BDD style testing framework for Go Goconvey is a two pronged testing tool consisting of a test runner that watches your code for changes, runs 'go test' and renders your results in a web browser and the second a library that allows you to write BDD-style tests with standard 'go test' functions |

xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |

|
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
Yes Yes, supports end-to-end testing so various front-end components can be tested |
Yes Yes, Goconvey can perform front-end tests |
|
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
Yes Yes end-to-end testing means that various back-end components and behaviour can be tested |
Yes Yes one can perform end-to-end HTTP tests with goconvey to see how an application works against remote servers |
|
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
Yes Fixtures are available with Gocheck either per suite and/or per setup and teardown |
Yes Yes, Goconvey uses scopes to define fixtures and a reset function for 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. |
Yes Group fixtures are available as a suite |
Yes One can define group fixtures using scopes |
|
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. |
N/A
|
Yes The web UI has a button to open the built in generator |

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 Through third party libraries like gomock |
Yes Using the mock package or mockery library to autogenerate mock code |
|
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
Yes When testing, developers can create suites of tests |
Yes Similar to a table driven approach an entire suite can be contained in a single function |
