What are the differences between Gocheck and Kahlan?

	Gocheck https://github.com/go-check/check	Kahlan https://github.com/kahlan/kahlan
Programming language	Go	PHP
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
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'	Kahlan is a full-featured BDD testing framework It is a full-featured BDD testing framework that embraces the KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) design principle. Kahlan makes it possible to write unit tests using the 'describe-it' syntax and requires at least PHP 5.5
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, supports end-to-end testing so various front-end components can be tested	Yes Kahlan allows you to test front-end components and behaviour easily
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 You can test individual back-end components using Kahlan
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 Fixtures can be defined by use of 'setUp()'method and cleaned using the 'tearDown()'method
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 You can write group fixtures
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	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Simplified BSD 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 Through third party libraries like gomock	Yes With Kahlan's stubbing system you are able to set stubs (like mocks) directly to your class methods (dynamic mocking)
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes When testing, developers can create suites of tests	Yes Kahlan allows you to group tests syntactically using a closure syntax. It has describe and context methods for grouping
