gotest is a Go CLI wrapper around `go test` that adds colored output for pass/fail results. It accepts all standard `go test` flags and supports customizable color palettes via environment variables.
Use cases
- run go tests with colored output
- make go test results easier to read in the terminal
- customize pass/fail colors in test output
- enable colored test output on CI systems
- hide 'no test files' noise when testing Go packages
When to choose
- you run Go tests frequently and want visual pass/fail feedback
- you want a drop-in replacement for go test with identical flags
- you need colored test output in CI pipelines like Travis or CircleCI
When to avoid
- you need test features beyond coloring, like parallelism control or coverage reporting changes
- you use a different language's test runner
- you prefer IDE-based test visualization
