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

	Intern https://github.com/theintern/intern	Goconvey https://github.com/smartystreets/goconvey
Programming language	JavaScript	Go
Category	Unit Testing, Functional Testing	Regression Testing, Unit Testing
General info	Intern is minimal test system for JavaScript designed to write and run consistent. Intern is a complete test system for JavaScript designed to help you write and run consistent, high-quality test cases for your JavaScript libraries and applications. Using Intern we can write tests in JavaScript and TypeScript using any style like TDD, and BDD. Intern can run unit tests in most browsers that support ECMAScript	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
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 Intern is a complete test system for JavaScript It Runs in the browser and can test any front-end component and functionality	Yes Yes, Goconvey can perform front-end tests
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Since it is a complete testing system that can test any type of JavaScript code, it can test server-side behaviour and components as well	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	N/A	Yes Yes, Goconvey uses scopes to define fixtures and a reset function for teardown
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.	N/A	Yes One can define group fixtures using scopes
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
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	FreeBSD License	Goconvey 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)	Intern uses the Dojo Toolkit’s AMD loader. To mock, you should be able to just use the standard AMD 'map' feature, else you can use third party libraries like sinon.js	Yes Using the mock package or mockery library to autogenerate mock code
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can group tests into Suites which may be specified as file paths or using glob expressions, there is typically one top-level suite per module.	Yes Similar to a table driven approach an entire suite can be contained in a single function
