Introduction to Testing in Go (Golang) (Udemy.com)

Great instruction with a broad and fairly deep coverage of testing API's & web apps in Go. The course moves pretty fast and it may be difficult to keep up with the instructors pace of explanation especially if you're not well-versed in writing API's and web-apps in Go because the lectures cover just about what's enough to know in the context of testing and do not provide much explanation as to why a certain standard library feature is being used as its a testing focused course. The instruction is fairly verbose as each line including every comma, bracket newline etc. is being vocalized which adds to the length of each lecture. While this might benefit some learners it may be good to reduce talking about every little detail of typing the code and instead spend more time on the core principles and ideas of why things are being tested in a certain way. Overall a good course with a broad coverage of everything needed to get started writing unit & integration tests in Go!

I’m currently taking this course and I can say it’s really worth it. The instructor has solid knowledge of Go and testing practices, explaining the concepts clearly and objectively. The content is well-structured, with practical examples that make the learning process much easier. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to dive deeper into testing with Go. Also, taking the course in English is a great opportunity to practice technical language and follow international best practices.

Trevor is an awesome instructor. This is the second course I have taken and I have 2 more lined up from him to grow my skill set in GoLang. He explains what needs explaining in a clear way. He also provides instructions in the examples he is using for everything, i.e. walks through setting up a SPA in the unit testing course, so I learn twice as much.

This is an absolute must for anyone interested in doing proper testing in Go. The pace is just right, the coverage excellent and you build up valuable skills. My testing and general Go development skills improved by a fair margin. I feel that I received really good value with this course and highly recommend it.

CONS - I wish there are practice tasks or at least some quizzes. All you do is follow and retype the lecture code in your IDE and run it - I wish there is some summary at the end PROS - Lecturer's explanations are clear, concise and in-deep. He explains every little part of the code he writes and the commands he performs - No parts where I found myself lost. If you make mistake and can't find it, you can always go to the source code and copy it

I think it should focus more on testing and less on building the code the api and other services, i know its related to understand the context but could be less, example section 13 basically is just building the SPA with only the two last lessons being about tests wich is the main focus of the course

Sem sombra de duvidas esse é o melhor curso de golang. O tema sobre testes é muito bem abordado, o instrutor tem pleno dominio sobre o assunto. Eu ja fiz outro curso desse mesmo professor e todos estão de parabéns, sigo fazendo o resto que me falta sobre golang, e recomendo muito pra quem esta querendo aprender umm pouco mais sobre a linguagem e claro não tem problemas em entender o ingles falado. OBS: Escrevi em Portugues para que outros Brasileiros como eu que se enteressam por conteudo de qualidade possam ver que não so esse, como outros curso do professor são de boa qualidade.

An excellent educational experience after programming for > 30 years, I finally got to perform unit tests thoroughly; it almost made me want to try TDD. I want to structure the application files differently so that the test files are separated from the project files into a test directory to reduce apparent complexity.

Excellent course. Unlike a lot of testing courses are very superficial, with only trivial examples, this course goes into testing of databases, traditional web applications, and APIs. The examples are simple but realistic applications that cover common patterns. Would highly recommend. Would also love it if Mr. Sawler would create a testing course that went into how to test applications that use a lot of concurrency. He is great at explaining things clearly, but concisely.

It's a complete course, like all courses from Trevor Sawler. The only thing maybe will be exciting to add to this course is how to write TDD and his workflow.
