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 |
stestr is a Python test runner designed to execute unittest test suitesstestr executes unittest test suites by using multiple processes to split up execution of a test suite then stores a history of all test runs to help in debugging failures and optimizing the scheduler to improve speed. |
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 |
YesYes, since it is also easily hooked to 'testing' package it is used to test front-end components |
YesStestr being a test runner that runs unittest tests, it can test fron-tend functionality and behaviour. |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYes it can also be used to test back-end components and functionality |
YesStestr being a test runner that runs unittest tests, it can run back-end tests for functionality and behaviour. |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
N/A |
YesBy use of a third party library like Fixture |
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 |
By use of a third party library like Fixture |
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 |
YesBy using a library like test-generator |

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 |
N/A |
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' |
