Go Testing Patterns

Write thorough, maintainable tests in Go using table-driven tests, subtests, and modern testing tools.

Usage

Share code you want to test or ask about testing strategies for implementation guidance.

Examples

  • "Convert this test to use table-driven test pattern"
  • "How do I test HTTP handlers with httptest?"
  • "Set up integration tests with build tags in Go"

Guidelines

  • Use table-driven tests for multiple input/output scenarios
  • Cover subtests for better test organization and parallel execution
  • Show httptest usage for testing HTTP handlers and clients
  • Include test helpers with t.Helper() for clean error reporting
  • Explain fuzz testing for edge case discovery
