xUnit.net vs go test/testing comparison of testing frameworks
What are the differences between xUnit.net and go test/testing?

	xUnit.net https://xunit.net/	go test/testing https://golang.org/pkg/testing/
Programming language	.NET	Go
Category	Unit Testing	Unit Testing
General info	xUnit.net is aUnit testing framework for C# and .NET xUnit.net is a free, open source, community-focused unit testing tool for the .NET Framework. It is used to test C#, F#, VB.NET and other .NET languages. xUnit.net and works with ReSharper, CodeRush, TestDriven.NET and Xamarin. It is part of the .NET Foundation,	go test is an inbuilt tool/command for conducting automated tests in Golang while testing is the inbuilt testing library Testing is the package that is shipped with go and combines with the go test command to provide a minimal but complete testing experience
xUnit Set of frameworks originating from SUnit (Smalltalk's testing framework). They share similar structure and functionality.	Yes xUnit.net is part of the xUnit family of frameworks	No However there are Plugins such as https://github.com/tebeka/go2xunitto convert the output of Go testing library into xUnit format
Client-side Allows testing code execution on the client, such as a web browser	Yes You can test various front-end components independently since it is a Unit testing framework	Yes Yes it can be used effectively for front-end testing
Server-side Allows testing the bahovior of a server-side code	Yes You can test various back-end components independently since it is a Unit testing framework	Yes Yes, it is used by developers for end-to-end testing so the back-end can be tested easily as well
Fixtures Allows defining a fixed, specific states of data (fixtures) that are test-local. This ensures specific environment for a single test	Yes It contains class fixtures which are setup once pertest class	Yes Yes it's straightforward in that first when you run 'go test' for packages in the scope the test will be executed with its working directory set to the source directory of the package being tested. Second the 'go test' tool will ignore any directory in your $GOPATH that starts with the word 'testdata' , starts with a period or an underscore
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 xUnit.net contains collection fixtures which allow you to share context among many tests	Yes Group fixtures can be done following a similar procedure as a single fixture
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 importing a package called 'gotests' (https://github.com/cweill/gotests)
Licence Licence type governing the use and redistribution of the software		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 By use of a third party library GoMock which intergrates well with the testing library
Grouping Allows organizing tests in groups		Yes The short answer is yes, by use of table tests which are a great way of performing multiple I/O tests on a function or behaviour with minimal code
