Unit Testing |
General info |
A set of golang packages that has many tools for testing Go codeTestify is a Go testing framework that has some great features like easier assertions, Test suite Interfaces, and Mocks |
Unit testing framework for Elixir.Elixir comes bundled with ExUnit allowing developers to use all elixir features without compromising unit tests. It uses a TDD workflow, and shows one message per test |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
YesxUnit has the ExUnit framework as an instance |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesYes, since it is also easily hooked to 'testing' package it is used to test front-end components |
YesFront-end code can be tested using ExUnit, Phoenix front-end framework for Elixir uses ExUnit as the default testing framework |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYes it can also be used to test back-end components and functionality |
YesExUnit tests backend code. Typically Unit tests will be written not to interact with the browser, but with ExUnit you can test whichever part of your application |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
N/A |
YesExUnit has a library called ExUnitFixtures fixtures are functions that are run before a test is run to setup the test environment or provide the test with data |
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 |
YesGroup fixures are possible with this library |
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 |
YesGenerators are found in the StreamData module |

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) |
YesIts 'mock' package has a mechanism for easily writing mock objects that are used in place of real objects |
YesMocks are available for use with ExUnit through the Mock module. Also available through the use of third party libraries like mecktest |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesUsing 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' |
YesUsing the 'describe' function which goups tests together. Every describe block recieves a name which is used as a prefix for upcoming tests |
