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)
