Welcome back to our course on Test-Driven Development (TDD) in Go using the Testify
library. In our previous lesson, we introduced the fundamentals of TDD and the Red-Green-Refactor workflow. Now, we will advance our TDD skills by focusing on generalizing solutions and enhancing the complexity of our testing scenarios.
As a brief reminder, TDD involves a repetitive cycle known as Red-Green-Refactor:
- Red: Write a failing test to clarify the new functionality you aim to implement.
- Green: Develop the smallest amount of code needed to make that test pass.
- Refactor: Clean up the code, enhancing its quality while maintaining its functionality and ensuring all tests remain passing.
In this lesson, we're going to expand upon the Sum
function, demonstrating how to generalize it while following these TDD principles.
Before we dive into coding, let's review our current setup. You are already familiar with the Sum
function in math.go
and its corresponding test in math_test.go
:
