Beginner: Talk: Testing in Go

[pshirali]

Type: Talk

Level: Beginner

Duration (minutes, includes Q&A): 60 min

Abstract:

This is a beginner level talk on how to get started with writing tests in Golang. The talk covers some common patterns on how to write simple tests, and then scale them to cater to a wider range of test parameters.

PS: I gave this talk at Golang Bangalore Meetup 36 on Sept 8th 2018. This is a repeat of the same. The contents of this talk will be broken into two parts. I'll only cover half the presentation in this talk to allow for more Q&A.
