General info |
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' |
Mocha is a widely used JavaScript test framework for Node.jsMocha is a simple, flexible and the one of the widely adopted JS test framework. Mocha usually runs tests serially which enables the accurate reporting. Also it's useful for asynchronous testing, and provides various king of test reports. Spec is default test reporter for mocha, there are many test reports like Nyan, Dot matrix, Tap, Landing strip, List and Progress. Mocha is being used with many other test frameworks like Selenium WebDriver, Webdriver.io, wd and Cypress |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
YesIt has an XUnit reporter available which outputs an XUnit-compatible XML document, often applicable in CI servers. |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesYes, supports end-to-end testing so various front-end components can be tested |
YesMocha Runs in the browser and is used widely to test front-end components and functionality. It can test various DOM elements, front-end functions and so on. |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYes end-to-end testing means that various back-end components and behaviour can be tested |
YesMocha provides convenient ways of testing the Node server.It works well with Chai (an assertion library) where it provides the environment for writing server-side tests while we write the tests with Chai |
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 |
Mocha provides the hooks before(), after(), beforeEach(), and afterEach() to set up preconditions and clean up after your tests |
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. |
YesGroup fixtures are available as a suite |
N/AMocha allows grouping of 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. |

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) |
YesThrough third party libraries like gomock |
Provides Mocking capabilities through third party libraries like sinon.js, simple-mock and nock |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesWhen testing, developers can create suites of tests |
YesGrouping is supported and is accomplished by the using a nested 'describe()' |
