go test/testing vs Selenium comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between go test/testing and Selenium?

	go test/testing https://golang.org/pkg/testing/	Selenium https://pypi.org/project/selenium/
Programming language	Go	Python
Category	Unit Testing	Web Automation
General info	go test is an inbuilt tool/command for conducting automated tests in Golang while testing is the inbuilt testing library Testing is the package that is shipped with go and combines with the go test command to provide a minimal but complete testing experience	Selenium is an open source tool used to test web applications Selenium is a powerful testing tool which can send standard Python commands to different browsers, despite variations in browser design. It also provides extensions to emulate user interaction with browsers, a distribution server for scaling browser allocation, and the infrastructure for implementations of the W3C WebDriver specification that lets you write interchangeable code for all major web browsers
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No However there are Plugins such as https://github.com/tebeka/go2xunitto convert the output of Go testing library into xUnit format	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Yes it can be used effectively for front-end testing	Yes It is primarily a browser automation tool which tests front-end components and functionality
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Yes, it is used by developers for end-to-end testing so the back-end can be tested easily as well	Yes It can perform Unit tests and can test various components and behaviours in the backend using a BDD or TDD approach
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Yes 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	Yes By writing your Selenium WebDriver tests in PyTest, this gives you access to Pytest's powerful fixture model
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.	Yes Group fixtures can be done following a similar procedure as a single fixture	Yes One can group fixtures if accessing Pytest's fixture model
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 They are available by importing a package called 'gotests' (https://github.com/cweill/gotests)	Yes By using a library such as Faker or Fake-factory
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	Apache License 2.0
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 By use of a third party library GoMock which intergrates well with the testing library	Yes It includes support for mocking
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes The 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	Yes By using the TestNG feature with which we can create groups and maintain them easily
