  gotests is a powerful Go test *boilerplate generator* that automatically creates comprehensive, idiomatic table-driven tests from your source code. Unlike general testing frameworks or IDE features, gotests specializes in providing the full boilerplate structure for a given function, method, or interface, analyzing signatures to generate complete test scaffolding and ensuring consistency across your test suite.

  ## Comparison / Why gotests?
  
  gotests is a specialized tool focused solely on *generating* Go test boilerplate, particularly for table-driven tests. It complements, rather than replaces, testing frameworks like `testify` or `ginkgo`, which provide assertion libraries and test organization structures. Unlike IDE features (e.g., GoLand, VS Code Go Extension) that might offer basic test stub creation, gotests deeply analyzes function signatures to produce comprehensive, idiomatic Go test structures, saving significant manual effort and ensuring consistency. It's also distinct from the `go test` command, which is for *running* tests, not generating them.
