IC is a snapshot testing framework. It has a record and playback system with optional automatic updating. This was inspired by the article: Jane Street - What if writing tests was a joyful experience?
Create a test with an empty c.Expect("").
package example_test

)
func TestExample(t *testing.T) {
c := ic.New(t)
c.Println("foo")

}Run your tests with either IC_UPDATE=1 or the param
-test.icupdate
