Godog is the official Cucumber BDD framework for Go, letting teams write executable specifications in Gherkin's Given/When/Then format. It merges specification and test documentation into living documentation that is automatically verified against Go code.

Use cases

  • write BDD acceptance tests in Go
  • run Gherkin feature files against Go code
  • create living documentation from executable specs
  • improve collaboration between business and developers on tests
  • do integration and functional testing with Cucumber in Go

When to choose

  • your team practices BDD and wants Cucumber support in Go
  • you need non-technical stakeholders to read and contribute to test scenarios
  • you want executable specifications that double as documentation

When to avoid

  • you only need lightweight unit tests without Gherkin scenarios
  • you require a fully stable 1.0 API, as it may still change
  • your team doesn't follow BDD workflows
