Download as PPTX, PDF8 likes8,955 views
The document compares various testing frameworks for Go, focusing on unit testing with 'testing' and 'testify', behavior-driven development (BDD) with 'ginkgo' and 'gomega', and REST API testing with 'frisby'. It highlights the features, performance, and shortcomings of each framework, alongside comparisons with their Java counterparts like JUnit and RestAssured. The author also provides statistical performance data and suggests areas for improvement in each framework.
Comparative Analysis Of GoLang Testing Frameworks
- 1. COMPARISON OF GOLANG TESTING FRAMEWORKS Dushyant Bhalgami Software Architect @autoMate_
- 2. OUTLINE BDD Testing Frameworks Ginkgo + Gomega Comparison with Cucumber Test Execution Performance Test Scenario Performance Statistics Unit Testing Framework ‘testing’ + ‘testify’ Comparison with JUnit REST API Testing Frameworks Frisby Comparison with RESTAssured
- 3. UNIT TESTING – “testing + testify” What is Unit Testing? Unit testing is a software development process in which the smallest testable parts of an application, called units, are individually and independently scrutinized for proper operation. Unit Testing covered by GoLang’s ‘testing’ package ‘testing’ package’s few features Benchmarking Code Coverage Parallel Execution ‘testify’ extension complements ‘testing’ package by providing support for Assertion Mocking
- 4. “testing + testify” v/s “JUnit” JUnit is famous unit testing framework for Java Improvement Areas for GoLang’s ‘testing’ package: Test Fixtures Parameterized Test Data Provider
- 5. BDD TESTING – “Ginkgo + Gomega” What is BDD? Behavior-driven development (BDD) is a software development methodology in which an application is specified and designed by describing how its behavior should appear to an outside observer. GoLang’s BDD Testing Frameworks: Ginkgo GoConvey GoDog GoSpec GoSpecify Ginkgo + Gomega: Ginkgo is BDD style GoLang testing framework Gomega is matcher/assertion library
- 6. “Ginkgo + Gomega” v/s “Cucumber” Features of Ginkgo Test Fixtures Parallel Specs Asynchronous Tests Table Driven Tests ‘Cucumber’ is well-known BDD Testing Framework, having bindings for Ruby, Java, JavaScript etc. Improvement Areas for ‘Ginkgo’: Feature Files Integration with Selenium for Web Testing Performance
- 7. REST API TESTING – “Frisby” What is REST API Testing? API testing is in many respects like testing software at the user-interface level, only instead of testing by means of standard user inputs and outputs, you use software to send calls to the API, get output, and validate it. GoLang’s REST API Testing Frameworks: Frisby RestIt Frisby It’s a REST API Testing framework, inspired by Frisby.js Simple to Implement Tests
- 8. “Frisby” v/s “RESTAssured” Features of Frisby Covers all basic HTTP methods, like Get, Post, Put, Patch, Delete Provides Assertions JSON & XML Parsers ‘RESTAssured’ is well-known REST API Testing Framework for Java Improvement Areas for ‘Frisby’: BDD style Continuous Integration Data Provider / Table Driven Tests
- 9. TEST SCENARIO Very Basic Test Scenario, which will define type of ‘Triangle’ based on dimension of sides of triangle Side3 = ‘z’ x == y == z “Equilateral” x == y || y == z || x == z “Isosceles” x != y != z “Scalene”
