Most Go tutorials and introductory texts leave testing to the end; many just skip the topic. However, knowing how to test Go code is a key job requirement. It can also help you master Go faster by letting you easily test your hypotheses as you practice the language.
Luciano Ramalho offers an introduction to test-driven development, covering essential testing techniques that make the test-first approach practical and even enjoyable. You’ll use TDD to develop a utility from scratch: runes, a command-line program that lets you search Unicode characters by name. (Luciano uses it daily to find special symbols and emojis.)
Outline:
Luciano Ramalho is a principal consultant at ThoughtWorks and the author of Fluent Python. Luciano wrote the Introduction to Go with TDD tutorial (in Portuguese) and has presented it multiple times. He is a cofounder of Garoa Hacker Clube, the first hackerspace in Brazil.
