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

	go test/testing https://golang.org/pkg/testing/	Turnip https://github.com/jnicklas/turnip
Programming language	Go	Ruby
Category	Unit Testing	Acceptance Testing, Integration 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	Turnip is a Gherkin extension for RSpec Turnip is an open source Ruby gem that provides a platform for acceptance tests.It combines Gherkin, a language defined by the Cucumber Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) tool to express requirements, and RSpec, an open source BDD tool for Ruby developers.
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 Turnip can perform end-to-end tests therefore test 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 Turnip is used to test server-side behaviour and components
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	No
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	No
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)	No
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)	Yes By use of a third party library GoMock which intergrates well with the testing library	Yes By intergrating with RSpec turnip has access to the rspec-mocks gem
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 Turnip Integrates directly into your RSpec test suite which allows declaring example groups and contexts.
