General info |
Spinach is a BDD framework on top of GherkinSpinach is a high-level BDD framework that leverages the Gherkin language to help define executable specifications of your application or library's acceptance criteria. |
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. |
No |
No |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
N/A |
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 |
YesYou can test any server-side behaviour with Spinach |
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 |
No |
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. |
No |
YesGroup fixtures are available as a suite |
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. |
YesSpinach has inbuilt generator methods |

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) |
YesSpinach can access the rspec-mocks methods |
YesThrough third party libraries like gomock |
Grouping
