General info |
Puppeteer is a Node library which provides browser automation for chrome and chromiumPuppeteer runs headless by default, but can be configured to run full (non-headless) Chrome or Chromium; It provides a high-level API to control Chromium or Chrome over the DevTools Protocol |
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. |
No |
No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesMost things you can do manually in the browser can be done using puppeteer, therefore you can create a testing environment for your tests to run directly. You can test front-end functionality such as UI testing with puppeteer |
YesYes, Goconvey can perform front-end tests |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
No |
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 |
N/A |
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. |
N/A |
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. |
No |
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) |
No |
YesUsing the mock package or mockery library to autogenerate mock code |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
No |
YesSimilar to a table driven approach an entire suite can be contained in a single function |
