Goconvey vs Doctest comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Goconvey and Doctest?

	Goconvey https://github.com/smartystreets/goconvey	Doctest https://docs.Python.org/2/library/doctest.html
Programming language	Go	Python
Category	Regression Testing, Unit 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	Doctest is an inbuilt test framework for Python Doctest is a test framework that comes prepackaged with Python. It is a simple library with a functionality that makes it possible to search for pieces of text that look like interactive Python sessions and executes these sessions to see if they work exactly as shown.
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
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
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	No Lacks fixture management which can make writing tests harder
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	No Lacks fixture management
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	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)	Yes Using the mock package or mockery library to autogenerate mock code	A good external library for using Mocks with Doctest is minimocks
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
