SpecFlow vs Goblin comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between SpecFlow and Goblin?

	SpecFlow https://specflow.org/	Goblin https://github.com/franela/goblin
Programming language	.NET	Go
Category	Acceptance Testing	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing
General info	SpecFlow is a test automation solution for .NET SpecFlow is a test automation solution for .NET which follows the BDD paradigm, and is part of the Cucumber family. SpecFlow tests are written with Gherkin, using the official Gherkin parser which allows you to write test cases using natural languages and supports over 70 languages.	Goblin is a simple Mocha like BDD testing framework for Go Goblin was inspired by the simplicity and flexibility of NodeBDD and offers many features like the ability to define as many Describe and It blocks as you want, colorful reports and beautiful syntax, running tests with the go test command as usual and more
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 Front-end behaviour is tested. With specflow specifications of the expected behaviours are made and specflow tests against this	Yes Yes, since it is a BDD driven framework, various front-end functionalities can be tested
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Back-end behaviour is tested. Specifications of the expected behaviours are made and specflow tests against them	Yes Yes back-end behaviour can be tested that is interactions with servers/databases
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes BeforeTestRun and AfterTestRun are executed once for each thread which is a limitation of the current architecture.	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.	N/A	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 SpecFlow contains a generator component. The SpecFlow IDE integration tries to locate the generator component in your project structure, in order to use the generator version matching the SpecFlow runtime in your project	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	BSD license	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 Specflow intergrates well with mock to give it excellent mocking capabilities	N/A
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can create test suites with specflow	N/A
