  • Russ Cox: Go Testing by Example

    Agreed with most of this but I’m skeptical of the rsc.io/script dsl approach. I’ll try it, though, because Russ is often right.

    shameless advert: do you wish testify was implemented with generics and go-cmp, and had a more understandable surface area? Check out my small zero-dep library, Testy https://github.com/peterldowns/testy

    shameless advert: do you want to write tests against your postgres database, but each new test adds seconds to your test suite? Check out pgtestdb, the marginal cost of each test is measured in tens of milliseconds, and each test gets a unique and isolated postgres instance — with all your migrations applied. https://github.com/peterldowns/pgtestdb
