Overview

Automated testing is a critical part of modern software development. This course will teach you how to test your Go applications to ensure they are both correct and performant.

Today's software applications are addressing an increasingly challenging set of problems. Meanwhile, the consumers of those applications have little tolerance for bugs and poor performance. In this challenging environment, automated tests have become a vital tool to ensure that applications are correct and performant. In this course, Testing in Go, you'll gain the ability to create automated test suites for your Go applications. First, you'll learn how to create assertion-style tests, commonly used in unit, integration, and end-to-end test suites. Next, you'll discover how to add performance benchmark tests to your critical code paths to ensure that your users aren't waiting any longer than necessary. Then you’ll round out your knowledge by learning about some special tools that Go provides to ease the creation of tests for HTTP services.. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge of testing in Go needed to meet your customers expectations for quality and performance.
