Minitest vs Testify comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Minitest and Testify?

	Minitest https://github.com/seattlerb/minitest	Testify https://github.com/stretchr/testify
Programming language	Ruby	Go
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	Complete suite of testing facilities Minitest is small, fast, and it aims to make tests clean and readable. It supports test-driven development (TDD), behavior-driven development (BDD), mocking, and benchmarking.	A set of golang packages that has many tools for testing Go code Testify is a Go testing framework that has some great features like easier assertions, Test suite Interfaces, and Mocks
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes MiniTest is an xUnit style framework in that is has assertion functions in the style of xUnit/TDD	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	No	Yes Yes, since it is also easily hooked to 'testing' package it is used to test front-end components
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test various back-end components	Yes Yes it can also be used to test back-end components and functionality
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Minitest supports test fixture functions	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.	Yes Minitest has group fixtures	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.		N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT 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 Mocking is available through the Minitest::Mock class which is a simple and clean mock object framework	Yes Its 'mock' package has a mechanism for easily writing mock objects that are used in place of real objects
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Allows grouping by nested Ruby classes. RSpec-like "context" method is available for spec syntax through the minitest-spec-context extension gem	Yes Using the 'suite' package developers can build a test suite as a struct build teardown and setup methods as well as testing methods on the struct then run them with 'go test'
