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

	WebdriverIO https://webdriver.io/	Goconvey https://github.com/smartystreets/goconvey
Programming language	JavaScript	Go
Category	Browser Automation, Unit Testing, Functional Testing	Regression Testing, Unit Testing
General info	WebdriverIO is the next-gen WebDriver test framework for Node.js made upon Selenium WebdriverIO is written in JavaScript and uses Selenium under the hood. It also comes with its own inbuilt test runner and supports other testing frameworks like Jasmine, Cucumber, and Mocha	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.	Yes	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes WebdriverIO allows the use of advanced CSS selectors and makes it easy to find elements for front-end testing	Yes Yes, Goconvey can perform front-end tests
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes It can be used to test server side behaviour and functionality	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 WebdriverIO supports the creation of fixtures	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 WebdriverIO supports the creation of group fixtures	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	MIT License	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 It contains a mocking service called 'wdio-wiremock-service'	Yes Using the mock package or mockery library to autogenerate mock code
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes WebdriverIO allows one to build test suites, you can run these test in parallel and organize them by adjusting the 'maxInstances' property in your config file	Yes Similar to a table driven approach an entire suite can be contained in a single function
