  • πŸ“‹ Table-Driven Tests: Idiomatic pattern for testing multiple inputs
  • βœ… Testify: Readable assertions and test suites
  • 🎭 Gomock: Type-safe interface mocking
  • ⚑ Benchmarking: Built-in performance testing
  • πŸ” Race Detector: Concurrent code safety verification
  • πŸ“Š Coverage: Native coverage reporting and enforcement
