Anderson Queiroz: Testing in Go: from basic to advanced
Testing in Go: from basic to advanced
Go testing package has got everything we need to build a solid test suit from unit tests to integration tests. To take the most of it we need to understand it well. And as much of the things in Go, it isn't hard to master! Using full working code examples we'll explore how to build tests from the basics to advanced, covering test flags, table test, creating good helper functions, accessing test data, black-box tests, integration tests, setup and teardown and race detection. And if time allows we'll look at code coverage, mocking and some helper libraries.
