XCTest vs Testify comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between XCTest and Testify?

	XCTest https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xctest	Testify https://github.com/stretchr/testify
Programming language	Swift	Go
Category	Unit Testing, Performance Testing	Unit Testing
General info	XCTest is the default testing framework for unit tests, performance tests, and some level of UI tests for iOS apps. XCTest framework is a testing framework that enables developers write basic unit tests, performance tests, and some level of UI tests for iOS apps.	A set of golang packages that has many tools for testing Go code Testify is a Go testing framework that has some great features like easier assertions, Test suite Interfaces, and Mocks
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes Yes, it is an xUnit style framework	No
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes Developers can test individual front-end components with XCTest	Yes Yes, since it is also easily hooked to 'testing' package it is used to test front-end components
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes Yes, developers can test individual back-end components with XCTest	Yes Yes it can also be used to test back-end components and functionality
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes XCTest contains setup() and teardown() fixture methods for setting up and destroying test environments	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.	Yes Group fixtures are available in XCTest	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.	N/A	N/A
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 You can create protocol mocks and class mocks with libraries such as MockFive or Cuckoo	Yes Its 'mock' package has a mechanism for easily writing mock objects that are used in place of real objects
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups	Yes Developers can define test suites from the XCTestSuite class	Yes Using the 'suite' package developers can build a test suite as a struct build teardown and setup methods as well as testing methods on the struct then run them with 'go test'
