Vows vs Ginkgo comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between Vows and Ginkgo?

	Vows http://vowsjs.org/	Ginkgo http://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/
Programming language	JavaScript	Go
Category	Functional Testing, Asynchronous Testing	Unit Testing, Intergration Testing
General info	Vows is a testing framework for NodeJS applications. Vows supports Asynchronous BDD & continuous testing for two reasons first, reason is that node.js is asynchronous, and therefore our tests need to be, second,is to make test suites which target I/O libraries run much faster.	BDD testing framework for Go Ginkgo is a BDD testing framework for Go that has a great matcher library to go with it called Gomega and intergrates with the standard testing library
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	No	Yes Yes, by creating unit tests then testing individual front-end components
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Since it specifically tests Nodejs it tests back-end components and other server-side behaviours and functions	Yes Yes by creating unit tests then testing various back-end components
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	No	N/A
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.	No	N/A
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 running the command: 'ginko bootstrap'
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software	Apache License 2.0	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 Dvelopers can generate mocks by using the third party package 'gomock'
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups		Yes Ginkgo allows you to group tests in 'Describe' and 'Context' container blocks. It also provides 'It' and 'Specify' blocks to hold your assertions
