TestNG vs Goconvey comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between TestNG and Goconvey?

	TestNG https://testng.org/doc/documentation-main.html	Goconvey https://github.com/smartystreets/goconvey
Programming language	Java	Go
Category	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing, End-to-End Testing	Regression Testing, Unit Testing
General info	TestNG is a testing framework for the Java programming language inspired by JUnit and NUnit TestNG is similar to JUnit and NUnit but with newer functionalities such as: annotations, test that your code is multithread safe, flexible test configuration, support for data-driven testing (with @DataProvider), support for parameters, powerful execution model (no more TestSuite) and more... It's also designed to cover all categories of tests unit, functional, end-to-end, intergration... etc	BDD style testing framework for Go Goconvey is a two pronged testing tool consisting of a test runner that watches your code for changes, runs 'go test' and renders your results in a web browser and the second a library that allows you to write BDD-style tests with standard 'go test' functions
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	No	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes The scope of testing with testNg is wide and you can test various front-end functionalities and behaviours with it	Yes Yes, Goconvey can perform front-end tests
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test server-side functionalities and behaviours with TestNg	Yes Yes one can perform end-to-end HTTP tests with goconvey to see how an application works against remote servers
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Fixtures are inbuilt into testNG, these are the annotations which are: @BeforeSuite, @AfterSuite, @BeforeTest, @AfterTest, @BeforeGroups, @AfterGroups, @BeforeClass, @AfterClass, @BeforeMethod, @AfterMethod	Yes Yes, Goconvey uses scopes to define fixtures and a reset function for teardown
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 You can use various fixtures to setup environments for group tests	Yes One can define group fixtures using scopes
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.	N/A	Yes The web UI has a button to open the built in generator
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Apache License 2.0	Goconvey 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 an external library like mockit which intergrates well with testNG	Yes Using the mock package or mockery library to autogenerate mock code
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Multiple test cases can be grouped more easily by converting them into testng.xml file, in which you can make priorities which test case should be executed first	Yes Similar to a table driven approach an entire suite can be contained in a single function
