Package godog is the official Cucumber BDD framework for Golang, it merges specification and test documentation into one cohesive whole. Godog does not intervene with the standard "go test" command and it's behavior. You can leverage both frameworks to functionally test your application while maintaining all test related source code in *_test.go files. Godog acts similar compared to go test command. It uses go compiler and linker tool in order to produce test executable. Godog contexts needs to be exported same as Test functions for go test. For example, imagine you're about to create the famous UNIX ls command. Before you begin, you describe how the feature should work, see the example below.. Example: Now, wouldn't it be cool if something could read this sentence and use it to actually run a test against the ls command? Hey, that's exactly what this package does! As you'll see, Godog is easy to learn, quick to use, and will put the fun back into tests. Godog was inspired by Behat and Cucumber the above description is taken from it's documentation.
