Implements industry-standard unit testing, table-driven tests, and mocking patterns for Go projects.
This skill provides a comprehensive framework for writing high-quality Go tests by enforcing table-driven testing patterns, subtest isolation, and robust mocking strategies. It guides developers through the TDD workflow, ensures proper error checking with tools like Testify and Mockery, and helps avoid common anti-patterns such as global state leakage or manual mock boilerplate. It is particularly useful for teams looking to maintain high code coverage and reliable test suites in Go applications by providing standardized checklists and golden snippets.
