Top 23 Go Testing Projects
-
Go through Learn Go With Tests to learn how to test the code correctly in Go.
-
Gor
GoReplay is an open-source tool for capturing and replaying live HTTP traffic into a test environment in order to continuously test your system with real data. It can be used to increase confidence in code deployments, configuration changes and infrastructure changes.

Project mention: I'm curious about developer dependencies for library projects | reddit.com/r/golang | 2021-10-16
There is a way to put codegen code in a separate folder and create a separate go.mod file there. Like stretchr did. https://github.com/stretchr/testify/tree/master/_codegen
-
-
For a generic usecase, do you see Go-convey adding any benefit over simple golang t.Run?
-
Honestly curious - why wouldn't you use something like https://github.com/golang/mock to generate your mocks from an interface. Way more productive, consistent and cleaner. Spend more time and focus on your business logic rather than something that's already been solved.

toxiproxy
:alarm_clock: :fire: A TCP proxy to simulate network and system conditions for chaos and resiliency testing
Project mention: Simulating poor network connections so you can build better systems. | reddit.com/r/programming | 2021-07-23https://github.com/shopify/toxiproxy exists for this purpose and is quite good.
-
Scout APM
Scout APM: A developer's best friend. Try free for 14-days. Scout APM uses tracing logic that ties bottlenecks to source code so you know the exact line of code causing performance issues and can get back to building a great product faster.
-
terratest
Terratest is a Go library that makes it easier to write automated tests for your infrastructure code.
We use Terratest to do something similar. We use it within our CI/CD pipeline for testing Terraform modules before they are built and published in our registry, as well as use in a larger Terragrunt stack to perform more of an end to end test.

Project mention: Testza - A modern test framework with pretty output | reddit.com/r/golang | 2021-08-25
What are people’s thoughts on testing frameworks? I’ve heard that most devs only use the testing package in the standard library and the testify package for assertions— I assume this is because Go is meant to be lightweight and scalable, and adding external dependencies basically goes against that. But I’ve also seen devs use packages like ginkgo to make tests more structured and readable. What do you guys think?
-
Use GOSS, a YML-based open-source tool that can assert the test results (i.e., verifying if the SSH port 22 is closed or not).

> it shows the limitations of the language that you can't just build this inside the language.
Not sure why you'd make that assumption. https://github.com/dvyukov/go-fuzz

realize
Realize is the #1 Golang Task Runner which enhance your workflow by automating the most common tasks and using the best performing Golang live reloading.
-
Example auth middleware: https://github.com/grpc-ecosystem/go-grpc-middleware/blob/master/auth/examples_test.go

Project mention: Go Package for better integration tests: github.com/ory/dockertest | dev.to | 2021-04-23
We have different ways to write our tests depending on what datastore we are using, for example if we are testing database calls that happen to be using database/sql then importing a package like github.com/DATA-DOG/go-sqlmock could work.

Project mention: mockcompose to generate mocking implementation for Go classes, interfaces and functions | reddit.com/r/golang | 2021-07-06
As a Go newbie, the on-boarding process to Golang went relatively smoothly except a small glitch when it came to search for a mocking framework to test out a Go class implementation. I was a bit surprised to realize that I was not able to find a on-shelf tool to help me mock a class method. It might be an edge case scenario that I wanted to mock a class method, but I do believe that this is a valid use case, so I went ahead to spend a weekend building such a tool: mockcompose. It was originally aimed to just solve this one particular use case, therefore, it had to be used together with mockery (one of the great tools I found during my search in the period). I later refined the tool to cover mocking code generation for Go interfaces and functions, mockcompose can now be used in most of Go unit test scenarios. Please check it out and give it a try, I hope the tool is useful, feel free to drop your feedback and share with your opinion there.

Gauge is a Behavior Driven Java testing framework launched by ThoughtWorks.Inc. This is also one of the best Java Testing Frameworks, which allows software engineers to develop automated frameworks and speed up the software development procedure.

Checking for equality in tests: https://github.com/google/go-cmp
-
selenoid
Selenium Hub successor running browsers within containers. Scalable, immutable, self hosted Selenium-Grid on any platform with single binary.

conftest
Write tests against structured configuration data using the Open Policy Agent Rego query language
Project mention: Don't let your Terraform go rogue with Conftest and the Open Policy Agent | dev.to | 2021-06-25Insert Conftest! As they state in their GitHub description, Conftest tests against structured configuration data using the Open Policy Agent Rego query language. In the case of Terraform, this means we're actually running unit tests against sample JSON and actual tests against the Terraform state JSON.

Project mention: Mastering Web Scraping in Python: Crawling from Scratch | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-08-11
If performance, Especially concurrency matters then we should include Go based libraries in the discussion as well.
Colly[1] is a all batteries included scrapping library, But could be bit intimidating for someone new to HTML scrapping.
rod [2] is a browser automation library based on DevTools Protocol which adheres to Go'ish way of doing things and so it's very intuitive but comes with overhead of running chromium browser even if its headless.
