Programming language	Go	Java
Category	Regression Testing, Unit Testing
General info	BDD style testing framework for Go Goconvey is a two pronged testing tool consisting of a test runner that watches your code for changes, runs 'go test' and renders your results in a web browser and the second a library that allows you to write BDD-style tests with standard 'go test' functions	Concordion is a tool used to write and manage automated acceptance tests in Java based projects Concordion specifications are written in Markdown, HTML or Excel and then instrumented with special links, attributes or comments respectively. When the corresponding test fixture class is run, Concordion interprets the instrumentation to execute the test. Concordion lets you write them in normal language using paragraphs, tables and proper punctuation. This makes specification more natural to read and write, and helps everyone to understand and agree about what a feature is supposed to do.
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	Yes Yes, Goconvey can perform front-end tests	Yes You can specify tests for front-end components and functionality with concordion
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Yes one can perform end-to-end HTTP tests with goconvey to see how an application works against remote servers	Yes You can test server-side components and functionality with concordion.
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Yes, Goconvey uses scopes to define fixtures and a reset function for teardown	Yes Concordion contains fixtures which correspond to a specific instrumentation within the code. That is when specifications are written they are instrumented with special links, attributes or comments which are then run with their corresponding fixtures
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.	Yes One can define group fixtures using scopes	Yes One can group fixtures in concordion
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.	Yes The web UI has a button to open the built in generator	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Goconvey License	Apache License 2.0
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 Using the mock package or mockery library to autogenerate mock code	Yes By use of third party libraries like mockito
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Similar to a table driven approach an entire suite can be contained in a single function	Yes One can group tests into suites
