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

	Robot Framework https://robotframework.org/	Goconvey https://github.com/smartystreets/goconvey
Programming language	Python	Go
Category	Acceptance Testing	Regression Testing, Unit 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 style testing framework for Go Goconvey 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	Yes Robot has a rich library and can also be easily integrated with Selenium for browser automation to test front-end components	Yes Yes, Goconvey can perform front-end tests
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Robot can be used for back-end tests as well	Yes Yes 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	There is no inbuilt way to work with fixtures in Robot however it can integrate with unittest and use fixtures that way	Yes Yes, 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.	By integrating with unittest	Yes One 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.	Yes Robot has a library called the Robot Framework Faker library. It contains 147 keywords used for generating random test data	Yes The web UI has a button to open the built in generator
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Apache License 2.0	Goconvey 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 Using the mock package or mockery library to autogenerate mock code
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes One can create a test suite with Robot	Yes Similar to a table driven approach an entire suite can be contained in a single function
