Go Testing

The testing package provides support for automated testing of Go packages. Tests are run with go test and require no external libraries — the standard library covers unit tests, benchmarks, fuzz tests, and example functions.

File and Function Conventions

Test files must end in _test.go. They are excluded from normal builds but included by go test.

Test functions must match the signature func TestXxx(*testing.T) where Xxx does not start with a lowercase letter:

package mypackage

import "testing"
