General info |
BDD style testing framework for GoGoconvey 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 |
It's a property based testing framework written in typescriptFast-check provides another way to test programs by using property testing, Property testing is a way to test functionality by automatically generating many different inputs. This means Instead of relying on hard-coded inputs and outputs, it checks characteristics of the output given the whole range of possible inputs |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
No |
N/A |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesYes, Goconvey can perform front-end tests |
YesIt can test 'units' of front-end code for functionality and behaviour |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYes one can perform end-to-end HTTP tests with goconvey to see how an application works against remote servers |
YesIt is a unit testing framework in essence and can test back-end 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 |
YesYes, Goconvey uses scopes to define fixtures and a reset function for teardown |
N/A |
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. |
YesOne can define group fixtures using scopes |
N/A |
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. |
YesThe web UI has a button to open the built in 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) |
YesUsing the mock package or mockery library to autogenerate mock code |
N/A |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesSimilar to a table driven approach an entire suite can be contained in a single function |
