In Golang, package **testing** is responsible for different types of testing maybe it is performance testing, parallel testing, functional testing, or any possible combination of these all. [Gotestsum](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/IstrateM/gotestsum/pkg/gotestsum) package  can  generate standard format JUnit-style XML files  which can be  submited  to Testfiesta or Testrail using taco truck cli. You just need to install the popular [`Go testing`](https://pkg.go.dev/testing) ,  [Gotestsum](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/IstrateM/gotestsum/pkg/gotestsum)  and install tacotruck cli or use [Github action](https://github.com/testfiesta/tacotruck-action).  Check  out simple testing  [example](https://github.com/testfiesta/tacotruck-examples/tree/main/demo-golang-tf).
