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

	go test/testing https://golang.org/pkg/testing/	StoryPlayer http://datasift.github.io/storyplayer/
Programming language	Go	PHP
Category	Unit Testing	Unit testing, Functional Testing
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	Storyplayer is a full-stack testing framework Storyplayer follows a TDD testing approach and makes it possible to write end-to-end tests for an entire platform. It has support for creating and destroying test environments on demand
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 By running a 'user story' which is a simple statement that describes one action, and who can perform that action then record of the conversations about this action, this is how you would test front-end functionality and components
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 By writing a 'service story' which is a 'userstory' except it describes the behaviour of your back-end systems
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 Storyplayer has fixtures that can create and destroy test environments on demand
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 It supports 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.	Yes They are available by importing a package called 'gotests' (https://github.com/cweill/gotests)	Yes foreach(hostWithRole()) is a generator allows you to easily perform actions against all hosts in your test environment without having to hard-code the host IDs or hostnames into your story.

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	By using a library like mockery which intergrates well with storyplayer
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 Storyplayer’s job is to execute a suite of functional tests
