Test Patterns

Table-Driven Tests (Go)

func TestCreateUser(t *testing.T) {
    tests := []struct {
        name    string
        input   CreateUserInput
        want    *User
        wantErr bool
    }{
        {
            name:  "valid user",
            input: CreateUserInput{Name: "Alice", Email: "alice@example.com"},
            want:  &User{Name: "Alice", Email: "alice@example.com"},
        },
        {
            name:    "empty name",
            input:   CreateUserInput{Email: "alice@example.com"},
            wantErr: true,
        },
    }

    for _, tt := range tests {
        t.Run(tt.name, func(t *testing.T) {
            // arrange, act, assert
        })
    }
}

Mock via Interfaces

type mockUserRepo struct {
    users map[string]*domain.User
}

func (m *mockUserRepo) GetByID(ctx context.Context, id string) (*domain.User, error) {
    u, ok := m.users[id]
    if !ok {
        return nil, domain.ErrNotFound
    }
    return u, nil
}

Test Levels

Level	What	How	Speed
Unit	Domain logic, services	Mock interfaces	Fast
Handler	HTTP layer	httptest, mock services	Fast
Integration	Adapter + real deps	testcontainers or test DB	Slow
E2E	Full request flow	Running service + DB	Slowest

Naming

• Test files: {file}_test.go
• Test functions: Test{Function} or Test{Type}_{Method}
• Subtests: descriptive lowercase with spaces

Do

1. WRITE table-driven tests for all business logic
2. MOCK via interfaces (not concrete types)
3. TEST error paths explicitly
4. USE subtests for related cases
5. KEEP tests independent (no shared state between tests)

Do Not

1. TEST implementation details (test behavior)
2. SKIP error case tests
3. USE real databases in unit tests
4. SHARE mutable state between test cases
5. WRITE tests that depend on execution order
