The book begins by teaching you how to use TDD to tackle various problems, from simple mathematical functions to web apps. You'll then learn how to structure and run your unit tests using Go's standard testing library, and explore two popular testing frameworks, Testify and Ginkgo. You'll also implement test suites using table-driven testing, a popular Go technique. As you advance, you'll write and run behavior-driven development (BDD) tests using Ginkgo and Godog. Finally, you'll explore the tricky aspects of implementing and testing TDD in production, such as refactoring your code and testing microservices architecture with contract testing implemented with Pact. All these techniques will be demonstrated using an example REST API, as well as smaller bespoke code examples.
