Specifically, Pivotal was one of the lead contributors to Cloud Foundry. A sprawling distributed system, originally written in Ruby, that was slowly migrating towards the emerging distributed systems language of choice: Go. At the time (and, arguably, to this day) the landscape of Go's testing infrastructure was somewhat anemic. For engineers coming from the rich ecosystems of testing frameworks such as [Jasmine](https://jasmine.github.io), [rspec](https://rspec.info), and [Cedar](https://github.com/cedarbdd/cedar) there was a need for a comprehensive testing framework with a mature set of matchers in Go.
