• Ginkgo uses Go's testing package and can live alongside your existing testing tests. It's easy to bootstrap and start writing your first tests

• Structure your BDD-style tests expressively:

  • Nestable Describe and Context container blocks
  • BeforeEach and AfterEach blocks for setup and teardown
  • It blocks that hold your assertions
  • JustBeforeEach blocks that separate creation from configuration (also known as the subject action pattern).

• A comprehensive test runner that lets you:

  • Mark specs as pending
  • Focus individual specs, and groups of specs, either programmatically or on the command line
  • Run your tests in random order, and then reuse random seeds to replicate the same order.
  • Break up your test suite into parallel processes for straightforward test parallelization

• Built-in support for testing asynchronicity

• Built-in support for benchmarking your code. Control the number of benchmark samples as you gather runtimes and other, arbitrary, bits of numerical information about your code.

• ginkgo: a command line interface with plenty of handy command line arguments for running your tests and generating test files.

  The ginkgo CLI is convenient, but purely optional -- Ginkgo works just fine with go test

• A modular architecture that lets you easily:

  • Write custom reporters
  • Adapt an existing matcher library (or write your own!) to work with Ginkgo
