For years I thought tests were “extra work.”
But each missing test came back as a late-night bug hunt.
In 2025 I flipped the script: tests aren’t bureaucracy — they’re freedom.
Freedom to refactor without fear.
Freedom to release predictably.
Freedom to sleep after deploy.
👉 I break down my daily Go testing routine:
- Unit tests (fast + table-driven)
- Integration tests (HTTP handlers + in-memory fakes)
- End-to-end checks (few, but invaluable)
- Plus: stubs, mocks, fakes, fuzzing & t.Parallel.
