Unit testing is a crucial aspect of software development that ensures the reliability and correctness of your code. In this repository, you will learn how to write unit tests for your Golang code without the need for external testing packages.
To get started with unit testing in Golang, clone this repository to your local machine:
git clone https://github.com/tamathecxder/golang-unit-test.gitYou will find a collection of code examples and test files to practice with in this repository.
In the "tests" directory, you will find examples of Go code and corresponding unit tests. Study these examples to understand how to structure and write unit tests for your Golang functions.
You can run unit tests using the go test command followed by the directory or files containing your test functions. For example:
go test ./testsThis command will execute all tests in the specified directory.
Explore the "best-practices" directory to discover recommended practices for writing effective unit tests. Understanding these best practices is crucial for ensuring your tests are meaningful and valuable.
