As the name suggests, MockServer is a powerful tool that allows developers to mock HTTP APIs, making it much easier and more efficient to run an integration test in initial development phases. It aims to solve the problem of testing APIs that are still in development or not yet available, allowing developers to make http calls on an http client without a real server.

Golang Wrapper: Dependency Wrapping, in Go

Oct 1, 2024 By Josh Thornton In Speedscale

All but the simplest applications borrow code. You could write everything yourself from just core language features but who has time for that? Instead you take on dependencies, pieces of code written by others that usually give us 80% or more of what we need with 20% of the effort. Sometimes these dependencies are made to interact with a specific technology like a database, or perhaps it’s just a library providing some feature that would be onerous to write yourself.

How to Get Started with GoMock

Sep 23, 2024 By Kasper Siig In Speedscale

GoMock is a powerful tool for generating mock objects in Go, making it an essential asset for developers aiming to write advanced unit tests. By simulating the behavior of real objects, GoMock allows you to test your code in isolation, ensuring that each component functions correctly on its own. This capability is particularly useful in a language like Go, where interfaces play a crucial role in defining the behavior of different components.
