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 |
JUnit is an open source Unit testing framework for javaJUnit is useful for developers to write and run repeatable tests. JUnit has been crucial in the development of test driven development and is partof the xUnit family of unit testing frameworks |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
YesIt is an instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks. |
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 |
YesYou can test front-end components such as individual classes and functions that create the front-end |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYes it can also be used to test back-end components and functionality |
YesYou can test classes and functions that compose the back-end such as database connections and so on |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
N/A |
YesJUnit contains a setUp() method, which runs before every test invocation and a tearDown() method, which runs after every test method. |
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 |
YesYou can use setUp() and tearDown() inbuilt functions as group 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. |
N/A |
You can use JUnit-quickcheck to generate test data |

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 |
JUnit does not support mocking internally but you can use a mock framework like Mockito to generate mock objects. |
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' |
YesIn JUnit you can create a test suite that bundles a few unit test cases and runs them together. You use both @RunWith and @Suite annotation are used to run the suite test. |
