What are the differences between PHPUnit and Gocheck?

	PHPUnit https://phpunit.de/	Gocheck https://github.com/go-check/check
Programming language	PHP	Go
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	PHPUnit is a unit testing framework for the PHP programming language PHPUnit is a programmer-oriented testing framework and is an instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks.	Rich testing framework for Go Gocheck 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.	Yes It's an instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes It can perform Unit tests and can test various front-end components and behaviours	Yes Yes, supports end-to-end testing so various front-end components can be tested
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes By performing unit tests on singular back-end components	Yes Yes 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	Yes By use of a setup code. The setup code consists of two Important template functions, the 'setUp()' function (called to create the objects to be tested) and 'tearDown()' function (called to cleanup the objects which you tested)	Yes Fixtures 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.	Yes It does support group fixtures	Yes Group 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.	N/A	N/A

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 One of its main features is that PHPUnit comes with out of the box support for Mock objects	Yes Through third party libraries like gomock
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes It allows grouping of tests and by using the @group annotation one can tag a test to belong to one or more groups	Yes When testing, developers can create suites of tests
