| Some high level differences from serverspec/testinfra: * Goss is self contained binary, no python/ruby needed * Goss is YAML, not python/ruby DSL * Goss can generate tests from system state using add/autoadd * Goss can expose tests as a http health endpoint * Goss can sleep/retry until a system is in a good state, this
is useful in docker. See blog * It runs extremely fast benchmark showing 1,000 tests running under 100ms Some limitations: * Goss has to run on the system locally, self-contained binary makes it simple to install. * DSL will always have more flexibility in what you can do, but it's much simpler. So depends on what you're looking for. |
