Go Testing Strategies

What problem does it solve?

Promotes structured testing patterns across unit, integration, and end-to-end tests to improve software quality and feedback speed.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Define testing pyramids (70/20/10) to balance speed and coverage.
• Leverage testcontainers for integration testing.
• Mocking with testify to isolate units.
• Benchmarking and race detection to ensure performance.
• Establish measurable coverage targets (e.g., >75%).

Quick Start

Write representative unit tests for a module, then add integration tests with a containerized service and run benchmarks to validate performance.
