go-testing

Test Bubbletea models by directly verifying state transitions and UI updates. This approach validates how your model processes update messages, ensuring your application logic behaves correctly without manual interaction.

Write table-driven tests to achieve comprehensive coverage across multiple inputs for your Go components. This pattern structures your test cases systematically, verifying diverse scenarios and edge cases efficiently within a single test function.

Yes, teatest enables integration testing for Bubbletea applications to validate end-to-end UI interaction flows. It programmatically simulates user inputs and asserts resulting outputs, verifying full interaction sequences.

Golden file tests capture expected output snapshots for stable, diffable verifications in Go. You need them when validating complex outputs, allowing you to detect unintended changes by diffing actual results against saved golden files.

Structure Go tests for TUI apps by combining table-driven tests, model testing, and teatest integration flows. This layered pattern separates logic verification from end-to-end UI flows, ensuring robust validation across your application.

Yes, these Go testing patterns require no external dependencies beyond the standard testing library, teatest, and Bubbletea. You can apply these model and golden file verification techniques directly within your existing project setup.
