General info |
Kiwi is a Behavior Driven Development library for iOS developmentThe goal behind Kiwi is to provide a BDD library that is simple to setup and use, and create tests that are more readable than what is possible with the bundled test framework. |
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 |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
YesKiwi is an xUnit style framework |
No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesYou can test front-end components with kiwi |
YesYes, Goconvey can perform front-end tests |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYou can test back-end components with kiwi |
YesYes 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 |
|
YesYes, 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. |
Yeskiwi has a beforeEach(aBlock) which is run before every 'it' block in all enclosed contexts. Code that sets up the particular context should go here and afterEach(aBlock) which is run after every it block in all enclosed contexts |
YesOne 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. |
Yesthrough the beforeAll(aBlock) and afterAll(aBlock) functions. |
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) |
YesKiwi has inbuilt support for stubs and mocks,including null mocks, class mocks, protocol mocks |
YesUsing the mock package or mockery library to autogenerate mock code |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesKiwi uses the block syntax in iOS to define groups of assertions and share setup state between collections of tests |
YesSimilar to a table driven approach an entire suite can be contained in a single function |
