Implements idiomatic Go testing patterns including TDD, benchmarks, and fuzzing to ensure robust code quality.
The golang-testing skill provides a comprehensive framework for writing reliable and maintainable Go code using industry-standard testing methodologies. It guides developers through the Red-Green-Refactor TDD cycle and implements advanced patterns such as table-driven tests, sub-benchmarks, and property-based fuzzing introduced in Go 1.18. Whether you are building performance-critical services or complex APIs, this skill ensures your Go projects maintain high test coverage and follow idiomatic practices for mocking, golden files, and parallel test execution.
