WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
The first day, I wrote my tests for some GET routes. We use something called go-mock in our unit tests, which allows you to only focus on testing the function you're writing. Because of this, I found that you still needed to have a good idea of the code you want to write while writing out the tests. In our case, we needed to mock out our calls to an external API. If you asked for my opinion after the first day, I would've told you that I could envision the benefits of TDD for something like end to end testing, where it's a black box and you're only verifying that the output is what's expected from a given input. But for unit testing, it wasn't any different than just writing the code first.
