Test-driven development (TDD) is a software design technique based on tests that promotes an iterative way of writing software. This course will teach you to use TDD using Go—one of the most popular languages.

In this course, you will first learn about the fundamentals of Go, including packages, standard library, and error handling. Then, you will go through a comprehensive guide on writing test cases using Go, including subtests, table-driven tests, skipping, benchmarking, fuzzing, dependency injection, and mocking in unit tests. Next, you will look at multiple TDD katas and learn about the best practices for making most of the TDD approach. Finally, you will build a TODO application by following the test-driven development approach. This application will be a REST API that exposes actions getting TODOs. 

After completing this course, you will have the skills needed to build reliable applications using the test-driven development approach.

Learning Test-Driven Development with Go

Now that we have a working program with valid tests, let's do some refactoring. We'll practice the rules for clean tests (and code in general) learned so far. Our starting point is the code below:

Practice how to refactor tests and production code by applying clean code principles and Go idiomatic features.
