github.com/carlmjohnson/be (go): Package be is a minimalist test assertion helper library.  Tests usually should not fail. When they do fail, the failure should be repeatable. Therefore, it doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time writing good test messages. (This is unlike error messages, which should happen fairly often, and in production, irrepeatably.) Package be is designed to simply fail a test quickly and quietly if a condition is not met with a reference to the line number of the failing test. If you do need more extensive reporting to figure out why a test is failing, use be.DebugLog or be.Debug to capture more information, for example by saving the failing data to disk for diffing and examination.  Most tests just need simple equality testing, which is handled by be.Equal (for comparable types), be.AllEqual (for slices of comparable types), and be.DeepEqual (which relies on reflect.DeepEqual). Another common test is that a string or byte slice should contain or not some substring, which is handled by be.In and be.NotIn. Rather than package be providing every possible test helper, you are encouraged to write your own advanced helpers for use with be.True, while package be takes away the drudgery of writing yet another simple func nilErr(t *testing.T, err) { ... }.  Every test in the be package requires a testing.TB as its first argument. There are various clever ways to get the testing.TB implicitly,* but package be is designed to be simple and explicit, so it's easiest to just always pass in a testing.TB the boring way.
