General info |
Standalone test stubs and mocks for JavaScript. Works with any unit testing framework.Sinon.js is a great library when you want to unit test your code with supports spies, stubs, and mocks. The library has cross browser support and also can run on the server using Node.js. |
BDD testing framework for GoGinkgo 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. |
YesCompatible |
No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesSinon.js is a good library for unit testing your front-end code and has cross browser support |
YesYes, by creating unit tests then testing individual front-end components |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesSinon.js can run on node.js to test back-end components and server-side behaviour |
YesYes 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 |
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. |

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) |
YesSinonJS is basically a library that we can use to create object mocks for unit testing |
YesDvelopers can generate mocks by using the third party package 'gomock' |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
|
YesGinkgo allows you to group tests in 'Describe' and 'Context' container blocks. It also provides 'It' and 'Specify' blocks to hold your assertions |
