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

	Testify https://github.com/stretchr/testify	Kiwi https://github.com/kiwi-bdd/Kiwi
Programming language	Go	Swift
Category	Unit Testing	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	Kiwi is a Behavior Driven Development library for iOS development The goal behind Kiwi is to provide a BDD library that is simple to setup and use, and create tests that are more readable than what is possible with the bundled test framework.
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	Yes Kiwi is an xUnit style framework
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 test front-end components with kiwi
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 back-end components with kiwi
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	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	Yes kiwi has a beforeEach(aBlock) which is run before every 'it' block in all enclosed contexts. Code that sets up the particular context should go here and afterEach(aBlock) which is run after every it block in all enclosed contexts
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 through the beforeAll(aBlock) and afterAll(aBlock) functions.
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	Proprietary, Open source
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 Kiwi has inbuilt support for stubs and mocks,including null mocks, class mocks, protocol mocks
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 Kiwi uses the block syntax in iOS to define groups of assertions and share setup state between collections of tests
