// Package testing provides support for automated testing of Go packages.
// It is intended to be used in concert with the ``go test'' utility, which automates
// execution of any function of the form
//     func TestXxx(*testing.T)
// where Xxx can be any alphanumeric string (but the first letter must not be in
// [a-z]) and serves to identify the test routine.
// These TestXxx routines should be declared within the package they are testing.
//
// Functions of the form
//     func BenchmarkXxx(*testing.B)
// are considered benchmarks, and are executed by go test when the -test.bench
// flag is provided.
//
// A sample benchmark function looks like this:
//     func BenchmarkHello(b *testing.B) {
//         for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
//             fmt.Sprintf("hello")
//         }
//     }
// The benchmark package will vary b.N until the benchmark function lasts
// long enough to be timed reliably.  The output
//     testing.BenchmarkHello    10000000    282 ns/op
// means that the loop ran 10000000 times at a speed of 282 ns per loop.
//
// If a benchmark needs some expensive setup before running, the timer
// may be stopped:
//     func BenchmarkBigLen(b *testing.B) {
//         b.StopTimer()
//         big := NewBig()
//         b.StartTimer()
//         for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
//             big.Len()
//         }
//     }
