General info |
go test is an inbuilt tool/command for conducting automated tests in Golang while testing is the inbuilt testing libraryTesting is the package that is shipped with go and combines with the go test command to provide a minimal but complete testing experience |
Jnario is a test framework for Java focusing on the design and documentation aspects of testingJnario is based on Xtend and consists of two domain-specific languages, one for writing readable acceptance tests, the other for succinct unit tests. Together they are well suited for behavior-driven development of Java programs. |
xUnit
Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality. |
NoHowever there are Plugins such as https://github.com/tebeka/go2xunitto convert the output of Go testing library into xUnit format |
YesIt is an xUnit type testing framework |
Client-side
Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser |
YesYes it can be used effectively for front-end testing |
YesYou can write scenarios to test various front-end behaviours using 'Given', 'When', 'Then' steps to describe simple scenarios |
Server-side
Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code |
YesYes, it is used by developers for end-to-end testing so the back-end can be tested easily as well |
YesYou can write unit tests to test server side behaviours and components using Jnario specs |
Fixtures
Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test |
YesYes it's straightforward in that first when you run 'go test' for packages in the scope the test will be executed with its working directory set to the source directory of the package being tested. Second the 'go test' tool will ignore any directory in your $GOPATH that starts with the word 'testdata' , starts with a period or an underscore |
YesIt contains the Setup & Teardown functions similar to JUnit but less verbose |
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. |
YesGroup fixtures can be done following a similar procedure as a single fixture |
YesThe Setup & Teardown functions can be used as group fixtures. |
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. |
YesThey are available by importing a package called 'gotests' (https://github.com/cweill/gotests) |

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) |
YesBy use of a third party library GoMock which intergrates well with the testing library |
YesYou can implement mocking through the use of a third partylibrary like Mockito |
Grouping
Allows organizing tests in groups |
YesThe short answer is yes, by use of table tests which are a great way of performing multiple I/O tests on a function or behaviour with minimal code |
YesJnario Suites allows you to group multiple specifications into suites and execute them together, you do this using the suite wizard |
