Vegeta
HTTP load testing tool and library. It's over 9000!
Vegeta is a versatile HTTP load testing tool built out of a need to drill HTTP services with a constant request rate. It can be used both as a command line utility and a library. You can install Vegeta using the Homebrew package manager on Mac OS X. Both the library and the CLI are versioned with SemVer v2.0.0. After v8.0.0, the two components are versioned separately to better isolate breaking changes to each. CLI releases are tagged with cli/vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH and published on the Github releases page. As for the library, new versions are tagged with both lib/vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH and vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. The latter tag is required for compatibility with go mod. The JSON format makes integration with programs that produce targets dynamically easier. Each target is one JSON object in its own line. The method and url fields are required. If present, the body field must be base64 encoded. The generated JSON Schema defines the format in detail. -

Toxiproxy
A TCP proxy to simulate network and system conditions for chaos
Toxiproxy is a framework for simulating network conditions. It's made specifically to work in testing, CI and development environments, supporting deterministic tampering with connections, but with support for randomized chaos and customization. Toxiproxy is the tool you need to prove with tests that your application doesn't have single points of failure. We've been successfully using it in all development and test environments at Shopify since October, 2014. See our blog post on resiliency for more information. Toxiproxy usage consists of two parts. A TCP proxy written in Go (what this repository contains) and a client communicating with the proxy over HTTP. You configure your application to make all test connections go through Toxiproxy and can then manipulate their health via HTTP. See Usage below on how to set up your project. -

Terratest
Go library that makes it easier to write automated tests
Terratest is a Go library that provides patterns and helper functions for testing infrastructure, with 1st-class support for Terraform, Packer, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, GCP, and more. Create a file ending in _test.go and run tests with the go test command. E.g., go test my_test.go. Use Terratest to execute your real IaC tools (e.g., Terraform, Packer, etc.) to deploy real infrastructure (e.g., servers) in a real environment (e.g., AWS). Use the tools built into Terratest to validate that the infrastructure works correctly in that environment by making HTTP requests, API calls, SSH connections, etc. Undeploy everything at the end of the test. Write automated tests for infrastructure code, including the code you write for use with tools such as Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, and Packer. This code is released under the Apache 2.0 License. -

Ginkgo
BDD testing framework for Go
Ginkgo is a Go testing framework built to help you efficiently write expressive and comprehensive tests using Behavior-Driven Development (“BDD”) style. It is best paired with the Gomega matcher library but is designed to be matcher-agnostic. These docs are written assuming you’ll be using Gomega with Ginkgo. They also assume you know your way around Go and have a good mental model for how Go organizes packages under $GOPATH. Ginkgo is tested against Go v1.6 and newer To install Go, follow the installation instructions. An empty test suite is not very interesting. While you can start to add tests directly into books_suite_test.go you’ll probably prefer to separate your tests into separate files (especially for packages with multiple files). Ginkgo builds on Go's testing package, allowing expressive Behavior-Driven Development ("BDD") style tests. It is typically (and optionally) paired with the Gomega matcher library. -

Learn Go with Tests
Learn Go with test-driven development
Katas are fun but they are usually limited in their scope for learning a language; you're unlikely to use goroutines to solve a kata. Another problem is when you have varying levels of enthusiasm. Some people just learn way more of the language than others and when demonstrating what they have done end up confusing people with features the others are not familiar with. This ends up making the learning feel quite unstructured and ad hoc. By far the most effective way was by slowly introducing the fundamentals of the language by reading through go by example, exploring them with examples and discussing them as a group. This was a more interactive approach than "read chapter x for homework". Over time the team gained a solid foundation of the grammar of the language so we could then start to build systems. This is for people who are interested in picking up Go and/or people who already know some Go, but want to explore testing more. -

Ethr
Ethr is a comprehensive network measurement tool for TCP, UDP & ICMP
Ethr is a cross-platform network performance measurement tool written in golang. The goal of this project is to provide a native tool for comprehensive network performance measurements of bandwidth, connections/s, packets/s, latency, loss & jitter, across multiple protocols such as TCP, UDP, HTTP, HTTPS, and across multiple platforms such as Windows, Linux and other Unix systems. Ethr takes inspiration from existing open-source network performance tools and builds upon those ideas. For Bandwidth measurement, it is similar to iPerf3, for TCP & UDP traffic. iPerf3 has many more options for doing such as throttled testing, richer feature set, while Ethr has support for multiple threads, which allows it to scale to 1024 or even higher number of connections, multiple clients communication to a single server etc. For latency measurements, it is similar to latte on Windows or sockperf on Linux. -

dockerize
Utility to simplify running applications in docker containers
Utility to simplify running applications in docker containers. dockerize is a utility to simplify running applications in docker containers. It allows you to generate application configuration files at container startup time from templates and container environment variables. generate application configuration files at container startup time from templates and container environment variables. Wait for other services to be available using TCP, HTTP(S), unix before starting the main process. The typical use case for dockerize is when you have an application that has one or more configuration files and you would like to control some of the values using environment variables. Another use case is when the application logs to specific files on the filesystem and not stdout or stderr. This makes it difficult to troubleshoot the container using the docker logs command. -

BigCache
Efficient cache for gigabytes of data written in Go
To meet the requirements presented at the beginning of this chapter, we implemented our own cache and named it BigCache. The BigCache provides shards, eviction and it omits GC for cache entries. As a result, it is very fast cache even for large number of entries. Freecache is the only one of the available in-memory caches in Go which provides that kind of functionality. BigCache is an alternative solution for it and reduces GC overhead differently, therefore we decided to share it. Fast, concurrent, evicting in-memory cache written to keep big number of entries without impact on performance. BigCache keeps entries on heap but omits GC for them. To achieve that, operations on byte slices take place, therefore entries (de)serialization in front of the cache will be needed in most use cases. -

Fortio
Fortio load testing library, command line tool, advanced echo server
Fortio (Φορτίο) started as, and is, Istio’s load testing tool and later (2018) graduated to be its own open-source project. Fortio runs at a specified query per second (qps) and records an histogram of execution time and calculates percentiles (e.g. p99 ie the response time such as 99% of the requests take less than that number (in seconds, SI unit)). It can run for a set duration, for a fixed number of calls, or until interrupted (at a constant target QPS, or max speed/load per connection/thread). Fortio is a fast, small (4Mb docker image, minimal dependencies), reusable, embeddable go library as well as a command line tool and server process, the server includes a simple web UI and REST API to trigger run and see graphical representation of the results (both a single latency graph and a multiple results comparative min, max, avg, qps and percentiles graphs). -

GoConvey
Go testing in the browser, integrates with `go test`
Welcome to GoConvey, a yummy Go testing tool for gophers. Works with go test. Use it in the terminal or browser according to your viewing pleasure. GoConvey supports Go's native testing package. Neither the web UI nor the DSL are required; you can use either one independently. Readable, colorized console output (understandable by any manager, IT or not). As long as GoConvey is running, test results will automatically update in your browser window. The design is responsive, so you can squish the browser real tight if you need to put it beside your code. The web UI supports traditional Go tests, so use it even if you're not using GoConvey tests. Since GoConvey integrates with go test, you can keep running tests in the terminal or use the auto-updating web UI for test results. Though writing tests with Convey() and So() is optional, it's more expressive than t.Errorf(). -

Goss
Quick and Easy server testing/validation
For testing docker containers see the dgoss wrapper. Also, user submitted wrapper scripts for Kubernetes kgoss and Docker Compose dcgoss. Goss is a YAML-based serverspec alternative tool for validating a server’s configuration. It eases the process of writing tests by allowing the user to generate tests from the current system state. Once the test suite is written they can be executed, waited-on, or served as a health endpoint. An initial set of tests can be derived from the system state by using the add or auto add commands. A Json draft 7 schema available in docs/goss-json-schema.yaml makes it easier to edit simple goss.yaml files in IDEs, providing usual coding assistance such as inline documentation, completion and static analysis. -
22
Hoverfly
Lightweight service virtualization/ API simulation / API mocking tool
Hoverfly is a lightweight, open source API simulation tool. Using Hoverfly, you can create realistic simulations of the APIs your application depends on. Replace unreliable test systems and restrictive API sandboxes with high-performance simulations in seconds. Run on MacOS, Windows or Linux, or use native Java or Python language bindings to get started quickly. Simulate API latency or failure when required by writing custom scripts in the language of your choice. -
23
Keploy
Testing for Developers. Toolkit that creates test-cases and data mocks
Keploy is a functional testing toolkit for developers. It generates E2E tests for APIs (KTests) along with mocks or stubs(KMocks) by recording real API calls. KTests can be imported as mocks for consumers and vice-versa. Merge KTests with unit testing libraries(like Go-Test, JUnit..) to track combined test coverage. KMocks can also be referenced in existing tests or use anywhere (including any testing framework). KMocks can also be used as tests for the server. Keploy is added as a middleware to your application that captures and replays all network interaction served to the application from any source. Keploy has native interoperability as it integrates with popular testing libraries like go-test, junit. Code coverage will be reported with existing plus KTests. It'll also be integrated in CI pipelines/infrastructure automatically if you already have go-test, junit integrated. -
24
Testify
Thou Shalt Write Tests in Go
Testify is a Go (golang) toolkit with common assertions and mocks for testing your code. It features a specific set of packages, namely: assert package, which allows for better, more readable test code in Go; require package, which is similar to the assert package but instead of returning a boolean result, terminates the current test; mock package, which allows for easy writing of mock objects; and the suit package, which provides functionality similar to those of more common object oriented languages. Testify is easy to install or update, and supports the three major Go versions (1.11, 1.12 and 1.13). -
