The stress utility is intended for catching of episodic failures.
It runs a given process in parallel in a loop and collects any failures.
Usage:
$ stress ./fmt.test -test.run=TestSometing -test.cpu=10
You can also specify a number of parallel processes with -p flag;
instruct the utility to not kill hanged processes for gdb attach;
or specify the failure output you are looking for (if you want to
ignore some other episodic failures).
Do you find it useful?
I use it for several years for all kinds of episodic failures (not just Go btw).
