TwistedTrial vs Gocheck comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between TwistedTrial and Gocheck?

	TwistedTrial https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/TwistedTrial	Gocheck https://github.com/go-check/check
Programming language	Python	Go
Category	Unit Testing, unittest Extensions	Unit Testing
General info	Trial is a unit testing framework for Python built by Twisted Matrix labs Trial is composed of two parts: First is a command-line test runner, which can be run on plain Python unit tests and can do automated unit-test discovery across files, modules, or even arbitrarily nested packages. Second is a test library, derived from Python's 'unittest.TestCase'	Rich testing framework for Go Gocheck is a richer testing framework for Golang libraries and applications that includes checkers and assertions among many other features, it also works as an extension to the testing package and 'go test'
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 Front-end components can be tested for example adding a web front-end using simple twisted.web.resource.Resource objects	Yes Yes, supports end-to-end testing so various front-end components can be tested
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Server-side behaviour can be tested with Trial, it has various functions for this in the twisted.web.Resource package	Yes Yes end-to-end testing means that various back-end components and behaviour can be tested
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes Trial supports various fixture methods such as 'setUp()' and 'tearDown' functions fixture for normal semantics of setup, and teardown	Yes Fixtures are available with Gocheck either per suite and/or per setup and 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 Methods like 'setUp()' allow for creation of group fixtures	Yes Group fixtures are available as a suite
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.	Through use of third party libraries like test-generator.	N/A
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	MIT License	Simplified BSD 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 Trial can access the mock library inbuilt in python for mocking purposes	Yes Through third party libraries like gomock
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Trial allows tests to be grouped into test packages	Yes When testing, developers can create suites of tests
