Robot Framework vs Ginkgo comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Robot Framework and Ginkgo?

	Robot Framework https://robotframework.org/	Ginkgo http://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/
Programming language	Python	Go
Category	Acceptance Testing	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing
General info	Robot is a Python framework used for acceptance/functional testing Robot is an automated test framework which has a simple plain text syntax and can be extended easily with Python or Java libraries. It can run on the .net-based IronPython and on Jython which is Java based.	BDD testing framework for Go Ginkgo is a BDD testing framework for Go that has a great matcher library to go with it called Gomega and intergrates with the standard testing library
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	Yes Robot has a rich library and can also be easily integrated with Selenium for browser automation to test front-end components	Yes Yes, by creating unit tests then testing individual front-end components
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Robot can be used for back-end tests as well	Yes Yes by creating unit tests then testing various back-end components
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	There is no inbuilt way to work with fixtures in Robot however it can integrate with unittest and use fixtures that way	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.	By integrating with unittest	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.	Yes Robot has a library called the Robot Framework Faker library. It contains 147 keywords used for generating random test data	Yes They are available by running the command: 'ginko bootstrap'
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Apache License 2.0	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 Robot can access Python's mock library for mocking	Yes Dvelopers can generate mocks by using the third party package 'gomock'
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes One can create a test suite with Robot	Yes Ginkgo allows you to group tests in 'Describe' and 'Context' container blocks. It also provides 'It' and 'Specify' blocks to hold your assertions
