Go testing in Sortie projects often lacks a unified pattern, causing inconsistent tests. This Skill standardizes how unit, integration, and test doubles are written and maintained, ensuring reliable feedback and easier collaboration.
Run make test to execute the Go tests and follow the repository's testing conventions.

Table-driven Go tests use a slice of struct cases iterated via t.Run for subtests, calling t.Parallel inside each case to execute concurrently. This pattern standardizes test structure, enabling clear separation of inputs and expected outputs.
Mocking HTTP adapters in Go unit tests uses the httptest package to spin up test servers. Combined with loading fixtures from the testdata directory, this isolates adapter logic and ensures reliable, maintainable HTTP client testing.
Go integration tests are gated using environment variables with skip helpers like t.Skip when the variable is unset. This prevents accidental integration test execution during standard unit test runs, ensuring reliable feedback.
Use t.Helper in Go test functions to mark test utilities so failures report the calling line, and t.Cleanup to defer resource teardown. These conventions ensure robust error handling and maintainable test suites.
Yes, compile-time interface checks verify that stubs, fakes, and spies conform to adapter contracts during build. This enforces adapter conformance and error handling patterns, catching interface mismatches before runtime.
