thank for the response John.

My intention is to run integration test where I specify my test in english 
(acceptance test driven tests). I dont mind generating the binary but I 
would like to use the binary to test components such as. 1) if the web 
server is alive. 2) if a certain url gives me a 202 for a POST/GET etc...
