Tape vs Testify comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Tape and Testify?

	Tape https://github.com/substack/tape	Testify https://github.com/stretchr/testify
Programming language	JavaScript	Go
Category	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing	Unit Testing
General info	tap-producing test harness for node and browsers. Tape API is a small superset of the node core assert module	A set of golang packages that has many tools for testing Go code Testify is a Go testing framework that has some great features like easier assertions, Test suite Interfaces, and Mocks
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes It does support xUnit output	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can write tests for any part of your front-end code to test any component or functionality	Yes Yes, since it is also easily hooked to 'testing' package it is used to test front-end components
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes With tape you can test any back-end component, behaviour and functionality after all it supports TAP (Test Anything Protocol)	Yes Yes it can also be used to test back-end components and functionality
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	No Tape contains only the essential features for making assertions on your code but there is a package called redtape that extends tape to give you beforeEach and afterEach functionality	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.	No	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.	No	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT 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)	No Tape is a minimalistic framework that provides only essential features to make your assertions about your code	Yes Its 'mock' package has a mechanism for easily writing mock objects that are used in place of real objects
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	No Tape contains only the essential features for making assertions on your code	Yes Using the 'suite' package developers can build a test suite as a struct build teardown and setup methods as well as testing methods on the struct then run them with 'go test'
