Goblin vs JUnit comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Goblin and JUnit?

	Goblin https://github.com/franela/goblin	JUnit https://junit.org/junit5/
Programming language	Go	Java
Category	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing	Unit Testing, Regression Testing
General info	Goblin is a simple Mocha like BDD testing framework for Go Goblin was inspired by the simplicity and flexibility of NodeBDD and offers many features like the ability to define as many Describe and It blocks as you want, colorful reports and beautiful syntax, running tests with the go test command as usual and more	JUnit is an open source Unit testing framework for java JUnit 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	Yes It 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	Yes Yes, since it is a BDD driven framework, various front-end functionalities can be tested	Yes You 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	Yes Yes back-end behaviour can be tested that is interactions with servers/databases	Yes You 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	Yes JUnit 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	Yes You 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
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	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)	N/A	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	N/A	Yes In 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.
