We make use of https://github.com/onsi/ginkgo and Gomega https://github.com/onsi/gomega for BDD testing with more expressive matchers. You might be familiar with some of these concepts from Cucumber/Jasmine/Mocha. They get significant use in Cloud Foundry and in the Kubernetes e2e tests. I appreciate a lot of people like the simplicity of the standard test library and if you're starting with Go development, it's not a bad idea to get used to that before exploring external dependencies. Caveat: While not necessarily a "maintainer", I have been doing a bunch of maintenance on these projects the past few weeks. Edit: Also we use counterfeiter https://github.com/maxbrunsfeld/counterfeiter for fakes.

Seeking Remote Work

Hi Everyone, I am looking for remote opportunities as consultant and contractor. I have more 12+ years software engineering experience working for companies like Telerik and Pivotal. At Telerik, I was a senior engineer building their UI components for Desktop and IOS Devices as well as their cloud IDE (git integration). At Pivotal, I was engineering lead working on Cloudfoundry PaaS, where I was building Garden Linux Containers (an open source containerization technology tailored for CF). After that, I was leading PCF RabbitMQ team where we were building and operating RabbitMQ for Cloudfoundry. Languages: Golang, Ruby, C#, Objective-C, TypeScript, FlowType Web: React, Redux, Redux-saga, Redux-Logic, BlueprintJS Other Technologies: Ansible, BOSH, Concourse CI Methodologies: Scrum, XP, Pair programming and TDD Github: github.com/svett Linke
