Unit Testing |
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. |
Rich testing framework for GoGocheck is a richer testing framework for Golang libraries and applications that includes checkers and assertions among many other features, it also works as an extension to the testing package and 'go test' |
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, supports end-to-end testing so various front-end components can be tested |
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 end-to-end testing means that various back-end components and behaviour can be tested |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
N/A |
YesFixtures are available with Gocheck either per suite and/or per setup and 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. |

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 |
YesThrough third party libraries like gomock |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
|
YesWhen testing, developers can create suites of tests |
