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 |
Meta gem containing Shoulda Context and Shoulda MatchersShoulda contains two other gems: Should Context and Shoulda Matchers. Should Context allows better naming and grouping of your tests. Shoulda Matchers provides a set of "matchers", i.e. methods that allow you to write much more concise assertions. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |

No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesYes, Goconvey can perform front-end tests |
N/A |
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 |
N/A |
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

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 |
Yes |
