gocheck works as an extension to the testing package and to the "go test" runner. That allows keeping all current tests and using gocheck-based tests right away for new tests without conflicts. The gocheck API was purposefully made similar to the testing package for a smooth migration. gocheck includes features such as: * helpful error reporting to aid on figuring problems out * 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 * multi-line string reporting for more comprehensible failures * inclusion of comments surrounding checks on failure reports
