Testify vs Concordion comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Testify and Concordion?

	Testify https://github.com/stretchr/testify	Concordion https://concordion.org/
Programming language	Go	Java
Category	Unit Testing
General info	A set of golang packages that has many tools for testing Go code Testify is a Go testing framework that has some great features like easier assertions, Test suite Interfaces, and Mocks	Concordion is a tool used to write and manage automated acceptance tests in Java based projects Concordion specifications are written in Markdown, HTML or Excel and then instrumented with special links, attributes or comments respectively. When the corresponding test fixture class is run, Concordion interprets the instrumentation to execute the test. Concordion lets you write them in normal language using paragraphs, tables and proper punctuation. This makes specification more natural to read and write, and helps everyone to understand and agree about what a feature is supposed to do.
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, since it is also easily hooked to 'testing' package it is used to test front-end components	Yes You can specify tests for front-end components and functionality with concordion
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Yes it can also be used to test back-end components and functionality	Yes You can test server-side components and functionality with concordion.
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 Concordion contains fixtures which correspond to a specific instrumentation within the code. That is when specifications are written they are instrumented with special links, attributes or comments which are then run with their corresponding fixtures
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 One can group fixtures in concordion
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

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 Its 'mock' package has a mechanism for easily writing mock objects that are used in place of real objects	Yes By use of third party libraries like mockito
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Using the 'suite' package developers can build a test suite as a struct build teardown and setup methods as well as testing methods on the struct then run them with 'go test'	Yes One can group tests into suites
