General info |
Quick is a Swift (and Objective-C) testing framework.Quick is a behavior-driven development framework for Swift and Objective-C that is inspired by RSpec, Specta, and Ginkgo. Quick comes bundled with Nimble a matcher framework for your tests. |
go test is an inbuilt tool/command for conducting automated tests in Golang while testing is the inbuilt testing libraryTesting is the package that is shipped with go and combines with the go test command to provide a minimal but complete testing experience |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
YesYes, it is an xUnit style test framework |
NoHowever there are Plugins such as https://github.com/tebeka/go2xunitto convert the output of Go testing library into xUnit format |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesDevelopers can test front-end behaviour and components by defining front-end feature specifications |
YesYes it can be used effectively for front-end testing |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesDevelopers can test back-end behaviour and components by defining back-end feature specifications |
YesYes, it is used by developers for end-to-end testing so the back-end can be tested easily as well |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesQuick contains fixture methods setup() and teardown() for setting up and destroying test environments |
YesYes it's straightforward in that first when you run 'go test' for packages in the scope the test will be executed with its working directory set to the source directory of the package being tested. Second the 'go test' tool will ignore any directory in your $GOPATH that starts with the word 'testdata' , starts with a period or an underscore |
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. |
YesYes, example groups (logical groupings of examples/tests) can share setup and teardown code |
YesGroup fixtures can be done following a similar procedure as a single fixture |
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 |
YesThey are available by importing a package called 'gotests' (https://github.com/cweill/gotests) |

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) |
YesYes, developers can create mock objects with Quick using the Cuckoo library |
YesBy use of a third party library GoMock which intergrates well with the testing library |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesIn Quick test suites are named Specs, and every test suite you create starts off with a class inheriting from QuickSpec includes a main method, spec() which contains all the test cases. |
YesThe short answer is yes, by use of table tests which are a great way of performing multiple I/O tests on a function or behaviour with minimal code |
