Comprehensive Guide to Testing in Go
This article leaves out snapshot testing. It’s not really relevant in a backend application, but I find it very useful in user or customer facing CLIs to ensure you don’t incidentally change command output or formatting. bradleyjkemp/cupaloy has served me pretty well.

Gokiburi: Automatic Test Runs for Go Projects
I have always liked to use the similar GoConvey tool for automatic test runs during development, but it has definitely started to “show its age” and since Go 1.20 it hasn’t been able to parse code coverage correctly. So, I decided to dive into making my own tool to replace it for me.

Is there a more detailed test coverage report than go test -cover?
IIRC you can use http://goconvey.co/ just for the reports

Do you prefer go-convey over golang's t.Run?
For a generic usecase, do you see Go-convey adding any benefit over simple golang t.Run?
What are some alternatives?
