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

	Goconvey https://github.com/smartystreets/goconvey	Sleipnir https://github.com/railsware/Sleipnir
Programming language	Go	Swift
Category	Regression Testing, Unit Testing	Unit Testing, Acceptance 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	Sleipnir is a BDD-style framework for Swift Sleipnir is a pure Swift BDD testing framework inspired by cedar, that is not dependent on NSObject, and does not use XCTest. Sleipnir has nice command line output and support for custom test reporters and other features, like seeded random tests invocation, focused and excluded examples/groups
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	Yes Yes, Goconvey can perform front-end tests	Yes You can test front-end behaviour by defining specifications for classes, objects and functions
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 back-end behaviour by defining specifications for classes, objects and functions in the back-end
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 Fixtures are available by using beforeEach{ } and afterEach{ } to setup the test parameters
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 Group fixtures are available through the beforeAll{} and afterAll{} blocks to setup group fixtures
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	Yes Yes, developers can create mock objects with sleipnir using a third party library like Cuckoo.
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Similar to a table driven approach an entire suite can be contained in a single function	Yes You can declare example groups with Slepnir
