Milestone 7: Testing & Performance

🧪 Milestone 7: Testing & Performance

Go is famous for its Performance. In this milestone, we learn how to prove our code works correctly and how to find where it is slow.

📚 Slow-Paced Deep Dives (University Modules)

• Module 1: Unit Testing (The Safety Inspector): GO-301. Writing automated checks for your code.
• Module 2: Benchmarking (The Stopwatch): GO-302. Measuring exactly how many nanoseconds your code takes.

🥅 Milestone Goals

1. Write Table-Driven Tests for edge cases.
2. Use Mocking (Module 4) to test code without a real database.
3. Run Benchmarks to compare two different ways of solving a problem.
4. Use pprof to see a “Map” of your app’s memory usage.
