Go Testify: Supercharging TDD with an Assert Toolkit
Welcome back to the Golang series on The Engineering Coach! In this episode, we're taking our TDD skills to the next level by introducing Testify, a popular and powerful toolkit that extends Golang's core testing functionality.
We'll continue to follow the strict "Red, Green, Refactor" rules of Test-Driven Development as we build a Stack abstract data type. You'll see how Testify's assertion and mocking features can simplify your test code and make your tests more expressive and readable.
If you've been writing tests in Golang and want to write them faster and with more confidence, this video is for you.
