Description : Richer testing framework for Go libraries and applications to use.
gocheck extends Go's internal testing library with features such as:
- Helpful error reporting to aid on figuring problems out
- Richer test helpers: assertions which interrupt the test immediately,
deep multi-type comparisons, string matching, etc
- Suite-based grouping of tests
- Fixtures: per suite and/or per test set up and tear down
- Benchmarks integrated in the suite logic (with fixtures, etc)
- Management of temporary directories
- Panic-catching logic, with proper error reporting
- Proper counting of successes, failures, panics, missed tests, skips, etc
- Explicit test skipping
- Support for expected failures
- Verbosity flag which disables output caching (helpful to debug
hanging tests, for instance)
- Multi-line string reporting for more comprehensible failures
- Inclusion of comments surrounding checks on failure reports
- Fully tested (it manages to test itself reliably)
