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 |
A Python unit testing framework modelled after unittestTestify is modelled after unittest but has more features while still supporting unittest classes. It has more pythonic naming conventions, an better test runner output visually, a decorator-based approach to fixture methods among many other features |
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 |
YesFront-end functionality and behaviour can be tested by Testify. |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYes it can also be used to test back-end components and functionality |
YesTestify can test various server and database behaviours and functionality |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
N/A |
YesFixture methods are supported and it follows a decorator based approach, that is they are written similar to decorators |
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 fixtures are supported |
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 |
YesOne can create generator methods to yield runnable test methods which will pick out the test methods from your TestCases, and then exclude any in any of your exclude_suites method.If there are any require_suites, it will then further limit itself to test methods in those suites. |

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 |
YesIt includes the turtle mock object library |
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' |
YesTestify includes support for detecting and running test suites, grouped by modules, classes, or individual test methods. |
