Is it something like https://github.com/motemen/gompatible ?

Hey @AlekSi,

Both projects aim to help with backwards compatibility, but have different complementary approaches.

That project does static analysis of the code to check for breaking changes in your API. However, it'll not detect changes in behaviour.

What gocompatible does is find projects dependent in yours, fetch their code and run their tests to make sure they tests pass.
