	# GuildLM · go-test

	*A small, sharp Go testing* specialist from the GuildLM Code Guild.**

	`go-test` writes thorough, table-driven Go tests with real assertions and meaningful edge cases — the kind of tests that actually fail when the code is wrong. It is one of three specialists in the GuildLM Code Guild ([`go-dev`](https://huggingface.co/guildlm/go-dev) · `go-test` · [`go-review`](https://huggingface.co/guildlm/go-review)) built to work together in a verification-driven agent loop.

	> Why a dedicated test model? Across every GuildLM experiment, writing tests is the one job where targeted fine-tuning clearly beats the base. On a mutation benchmark — inject a bug, does the generated test catch it? — `go-test` catches 14/18 (78%) versus 7/18 (39%) for the untuned base. It catches twice as many real bugs as the model it's built on. Test-writing is genuinely where specialization pays. See the [research log, Report #2](https://guildlm.github.io/research/2026-06-28-go-test-mutation.html).

	---

	## Why this isn't "just Qwen with a name"

	`go-test` is a fused, standalone model (no separate adapter) with its own identity — ask who it is and it answers GuildLM go-test. It is an honest Apache-2.0 derivative of [Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct), fine-tuned for one craft: testing Go.

	## What it's for

	- Generating `*_test.go` files: table-driven cases, sub-tests, `httptest`, `sync/atomic` for concurrency checks.
	- Covering the edges a tired human skips: empty input, zero values, negatives, inverted bounds, error paths.
	- Acting as the testing role inside the [GuildLM Builder](https://github.com/guildlm/builder), so the code that `go-dev` writes is held to a real, executable contract.

	## Benchmarks

	Measured locally with the real Go toolchain — tests are scored by whether they compile, assert, and catch injected mutations, not by an LLM judge.

	<!-- BENCH:go-test -->
	\| Benchmark \| Metric \| go-test \| base 7B \|
	\|---\|---\|---\|---\|
	\| crucible `go_test_bench` (18 mutations) \| bug-catch@1 \| 14/18 · 78% \| 7/18 · 39% \|

	> This is the GuildLM specialist where the fine-tuning win is real, large, and repeatable — `go-test` catches 2× the injected bugs of its base. A guard in the [Builder](https://github.com/guildlm/builder) also rejects trivially-passing tests (no assertions), so its output is held to a real bar in the loop.

	## Quickstart

	### Apple Silicon (MLX)

	```bash
	pip install mlx-lm
	python -m mlx_lm generate --model guildlm/go-test \
	--prompt "Write table-driven Go tests for func Clamp(x, lo, hi int) int covering below/inside/above range and inverted bounds." \
	--max-tokens 400
	```

	### Ollama (GGUF)

	```bash
	ollama run guildlm/go-test "Write httptest-based tests for a POST /echo JSON endpoint built with newMux()."
	```

	### Inside the agent loop (recommended)

	```bash
	python -m mlx_lm server --model guildlm/go-test --port 8081
	guildlm-build --spec specs/myservice.yaml --out ./out \
	--base-url http://localhost:8080/v1 \
	--test-model guildlm/go-test --test-base-url http://localhost:8081/v1 \
	--candidates 3
	```

	## Prompting

	Trained with the system prompt:

	> You are GuildLM go-test, a Go testing specialist from the GuildLM Code Guild.

	Give it a function signature or an implementation and ask for tests. It defaults to table-driven style with explicit `t.Errorf`/`t.Fatalf` assertions.

	## The Guild

	\| Specialist \| Job \|
	\|---\|---\|
	\| [go-dev](https://huggingface.co/guildlm/go-dev) \| writes the implementation \|
	\| [go-test](https://huggingface.co/guildlm/go-test) \| writes thorough table-driven tests \|
	\| [go-review](https://huggingface.co/guildlm/go-review) \| audits for bugs a green build hides \|
