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

	SpecFlow https://specflow.org/	Goconvey https://github.com/smartystreets/goconvey
Programming language	.NET	Go
Category	Acceptance Testing	Regression Testing, Unit 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.	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 Front-end behaviour is tested. With specflow specifications of the expected behaviours are made and specflow tests against this	Yes Yes, Goconvey can perform front-end tests
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 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	Yes BeforeTestRun and AfterTestRun are executed once for each thread which is a limitation of the current architecture.	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.	N/A	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 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	Yes The web UI has a button to open the built in generator
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	BSD license	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 Specflow intergrates well with mock to give it excellent mocking capabilities	Yes Using the mock package or mockery library to autogenerate mock code
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes You can create test suites with specflow	Yes Similar to a table driven approach an entire suite can be contained in a single function
