Testing

Introduction # Testify is a popular testing toolkit for the Go programming language. It provides a wide range of assertion functions, test suite support, and mocking capabilities, making it a powerful tool for testing Go applications. Testify aims to simplify the process of writing tests and improve the quality of test coverage in Go applications. Testing is a critical aspect of software development that helps ensure that the software behaves as intended and catches bugs early in the development process. Writing tests can be time-consuming, but it is essential for delivering a reliable and maintainable software system. Testify can help make testing in Go more efficient and effective.

Introduction # There are a few words, like unit testing, integration testing, mocking, dependency injection, object oriented proramming. These are all friends, and areall related to each other. In this post I’m going to talk how, and then it will start to make sense to you. This post is divided into these subsections: Preamble The Testing part The OOPs part The dependency injection part A real life problem I’ll start with how I started with unit testing.
