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

	Testify golang https://github.com/stretchr/testify	Ginkgo http://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/
Programming language	Go	Go
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing, Intergration 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	BDD testing framework for Go Ginkgo is a BDD testing framework for Go that has a great matcher library to go with it called Gomega and intergrates with the standard testing library
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 Yes, by creating unit tests then testing individual front-end components
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 Yes by creating unit tests then testing various back-end components
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	N/A	N/A
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	N/A
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	Yes They are available by running the command: 'ginko bootstrap'
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT 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 Its 'mock' package has a mechanism for easily writing mock objects that are used in place of real objects	Yes Dvelopers can generate mocks by using the third party package 'gomock'
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 Ginkgo allows you to group tests in 'Describe' and 'Context' container blocks. It also provides 'It' and 'Specify' blocks to hold your assertions
