## Historique du projet et usages

gotests is a Go test-boilerplate generator. It analyzes functions and methods and emits table-driven test scaffolding, fitting the Go community's preference for generated but editable test code.

### Historique du projet

The repository was created in January 2016 and published early 1.x releases in 2016. The README describes the tool as a generator for table-driven tests and documents command-line filters for exported functions, named tests, recursive package traversal, templates, and writing generated tests back to files.

### Historique d'adoption

The README highlights integrations with editor and IDE workflows, including Sublime Text, Emacs, Vim, Atom, Visual Studio Code, and GoLand. That adoption pattern made gotests useful as both a terminal command and an editor action for quickly producing test skeletons.

### Modes d'utilisation

Typical usage is to run gotests against files or packages, optionally selecting specific functions, exported APIs, custom templates, or testify-style output. Later releases added full Go generics support and an optional local-LLM mode through Ollama for generating test cases.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

gotests is the sort of package that shows how Go tooling tends to compose: it is not a test framework, but a small generator that feeds ordinary go test workflows and leaves normal Go source behind.

### Chronologie

- 2016: Repository created and v1.0 published.
- 2020: v1.6.0 release published.
- 2025: v1.8.0 release described full Go generics support.
- 2025: v1.9.0 release described local AI-powered test generation through Ollama.

### Related projects

- Go's table-driven test idiom is the coding style gotests automates.
- Go editor integrations such as VS Code Go and Vim plugins provide interactive entry points for generated tests.
