Gocheck vs Tape comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Gocheck and Tape?

	Gocheck https://github.com/go-check/check	Tape https://github.com/substack/tape
Programming language	Go	JavaScript
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing, Intergration 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'	tap-producing test harness for node and browsers. Tape API is a small superset of the node core assert module
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes It does support xUnit output
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 You can write tests for any part of your front-end code to test any component or functionality
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 With tape you can test any back-end component, behaviour and functionality after all it supports TAP (Test Anything Protocol)
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	No Tape contains only the essential features for making assertions on your code but there is a package called redtape that extends tape to give you beforeEach and afterEach functionality
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	No
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	No
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	No Tape is a minimalistic framework that provides only essential features to make your assertions about your code
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes When testing, developers can create suites of tests	No Tape contains only the essential features for making assertions on your code
