This is the code repository for Test-Driven Development in Go, published by Packt.
A practical guide to writing idiomatic and efficient Go tests through real-world examples
Experienced developers understand the importance of designing a comprehensive testing strategy to ensure efficient shipping and maintaining services in production. This book shows you how to utilize test-driven development (TDD), a widely adopted industry practice, for testing your Go apps at different levels. You’ll also explore challenges faced in testing concurrent code, and learn how to leverage generics and write fuzz tests.
This book covers the following exciting features:
- Create practical Go unit tests using mocks and assertions with Testify
- Build table-driven test suites for HTTP web applications
- Write BDD-style tests using the Ginkgo testing framework
- Use the Godog testing framework to reliably test web applications
- Verify microservices architecture using Pact contract testing
- Develop tests that cover edge cases using property testing and fuzzing

func(e *Engine) Add(x, y float64) float64{
return x + y
}
