What testing patterns does this skill prioritize?

The skill prioritizes idiomatic Go patterns, specifically table-driven tests using subtests (t.Run) and the standard library's testing.T package.

Does it support benchmarking for Go code?

Yes, it provides specific guidance on implementing testing.B benchmarks, including the use of b.N loops and b.ResetTimer() for accurate results.

How does the skill handle external dependencies?

It promotes interface-based dependency injection for manual mocking, ensuring tests remain fast, reproducible, and decoupled from external APIs or databases.

Where does this skill recommend placing test files?

Following standard Go conventions, it recommends placing unit tests in the same directory as the target file using the {filename}_test.go naming format.

セキュリティとテスト

Implements idiomatic Go test suites using table-driven patterns, subtests, and performance benchmarks.

概要

The go-test skill provides Claude with specialized expertise in the Go standard testing package, ensuring your codebases follow industry-standard patterns like table-driven testing and subtest organization. It guides the implementation of testing.T and testing.B, interface-based mocking, and Given-When-Then structures to improve code reliability. This skill is ideal for developers looking to automate the creation of maintainable test suites, detect race conditions, and achieve high code coverage while adhering to Go's unique idiomatic conventions.
