I’ve used the Selenium Firefox plugin to test web servers written in Go.  It’s 
great for end to end testing of a web server because it doesn’t know or care 
what the server is written in.  It’s only concerned with the resulting HTML.

I recorded some web sessions using the plugin and can then play them back to 
test any changes to the code.  The sessions are recorded in plain text so you 
can edit the description and replace any variable content with wildcards.  For 
example,  one of the tests involved creating an object using fixed values.  The 
resulting page displays the result including the UID, so it’s mostly the same 
each time except for the UID.  My edited Selenium script checks each field but 
uses a wildcard for the UID.

There are lots of web scripting systems that do this sort of testing, but 
Selenium is the only one I know about that has a nice easy visual interface and 
is free.
