Unit Testing |
General info |
Nose is a Python unit test frameworkThis is a Python unit test framework that intergrates well with doctests, unnittests, and 'no-boilerplate tests', that is tests written from scratch without a specific boilerplate. |
Rich testing framework for GoGocheck is a richer testing framework for Golang libraries and applications that includes checkers and assertions among many other features, it also works as an extension to the testing package and 'go test' |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |

Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
Yesnose is a unit testing tool which is very similar to unittest. It is basically unittest with extensions therefore just like unittest is can test front-end components and behaviour |
YesYes, supports end-to-end testing so various front-end components can be tested |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesNose can test back-end components and functionality as small units. One can write tests for each function that provides back-end functionality |
YesYes end-to-end testing means that various back-end components and behaviour can be tested |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
Yesnose supports fixtures at the package, module, class, and test case levels, so that initialization which can be expensive is done as infrequently as possible. |
YesFixtures are available with Gocheck either per suite and/or per setup and 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. |
YesGroup fixtures are allowed with nose, where a multitest state can be defined. |
YesGroup fixtures are available as a suite |
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. |
Through use of third party libraries like test-generator and from the 'unittest.TestCase' library |

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) |
YesThe nose library extends the built-in Python unittest module therefore has access to unittest.mock |
YesThrough third party libraries like gomock |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesWith nose it collects tests automatically and there’s no need to manually collect test cases into test suites. |
YesWhen testing, developers can create suites of tests |
