The check package builds on the standard testing library from Go to offer a richer testing framework for libraries and applications to use. gocheck includes features such as: * Helpful error reporting to aid on figuring problems out (see below) * 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)

gocheck includes features such as:

|
* Helpful error reporting to aid on figuring problems out (see below)
|
|
* 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
