[$] Testing in Go: philosophy and tools

The Go programming language comes withtools for writing and running tests: the standard library's testing package, andthe gotest command to run test suites. Like the language itself, Go'sphilosophy for writing tests is minimalist: use thelightweight testing package along with helper functionswritten in plain Go. The idea is that tests are just code, and since a Godeveloper already knows how to write Go using its abstractions and types,there's no need to learn a quirky domain-specific language for writingtests.
