## What it is
Venom is a CLI tool for creating, managing, and running integration tests declaratively. It executes test suites using built-in executors (HTTP requests, scripts, web, IMAP, etc.) with assertions and variable support.

## Use cases
- run integration tests from the command line
- write declarative HTTP API test suites
- test APIs with assertions in YAML
- run integration tests in CI/CD pipelines
- chain test steps using outputs from previous steps
- export test reports in xUnit format
- test email flows via IMAP

## When to choose
- you want declarative, YAML-based integration tests without writing code
- you need a single CLI binary that runs in CI/CD pipelines
- you need to test HTTP APIs, scripts, or email with built-in executors
- you want xUnit-compatible test reports

## When to avoid
- you need unit testing for Go code (use Go's native testing package)
- you need complex custom test logic better expressed in a programming language
- you need browser end-to-end testing with rich UI interactions
