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 |
Goblin is a simple Mocha like BDD testing framework for GoGoblin 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 |
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, Goconvey can perform front-end tests |
YesYes, since it is a BDD driven framework, various front-end functionalities can be tested |
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 |
YesYes back-end behaviour can be tested that is interactions with servers/databases |
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 |
