Intro to Testing in Go Workshop

Description

Whether you are just getting started in Go or have been writing Go code for a couple years, this class will make sure you have what you need to write simple, quick, robust tests. We will start with the basics and introduce table driven tests. Then we'll work through advanced concepts such as testing asynchronous code as well as mocking and injecting code. We’ll finish up with example tests and code coverage. We believe in a hands-on approach to learning, so be ready to write a lot of tests!

What a student is expected to learn

Everyone will have a strong understanding of each part of testing. The test package will be covered in depth, different approaches to table driven testing will be taught, as well as the numerous options for running tests and test suites. Students will learn how to test Net/HTTP packages, and how to mock out tests and create test harnesses. From there, students will learn how to create test coverage and example tests for documentation.

Prerequisites

A basic understanding of the Go programming language. Beginners are highly encouraged to attend this training. While not necessary, it will be helpful if you have completed the Go tour.
