In sintesi
Testing Gin APIs involves unit testing handlers, integration testing with real database, mocking external services, and monitoring code coverage. Tools: Go testing package, testify, httptest, mockery. Senior testing engineers earn $120-170k because high coverage (>80%) prevents bugs and reduces production incidents. Critical for fintech, healthtech, payment systems where bugs cost millions. Mastery: 4-6 weeks.
Cos'è Gin Test Coverage
Gin test coverage is comprehensive testing of REST API endpoints and handlers to ensure correctness, reliability, and resilience. This includes: - Unit tests (test individual functions, handlers)

❓ Domande frequenti
What's a good code coverage target?
Aim for 80%+ for critical paths (authentication, payments). 60-70% for utilities. Don't obsess over 100% (test-writing time not worth marginal gain). Focus on high-risk code (error paths, edge cases).
How do I test database interactions?
Use testcontainers to spin up real database in Docker. Or use go-sqlmock to mock database calls. Real database is better (catches actual SQL bugs); mocks are faster.
Should I test private functions?
No. Test public API only. If private function is complex, extract it into separate exported function, or refactor to reduce complexity. Private function tests are fragile.
How do I handle flaky tests?
Flaky tests usually caused by: (1) race conditions (use -race flag), (2) timing issues (use backoff, retries), (3) external dependencies (mock them). Always fix flaky tests immediately.
Can I generate coverage reports?
Yes. `go test -cover ./...` shows coverage %. `go tool cover -html=coverage.out` generates HTML report. CI/CD can enforce minimum coverage (fail build if <80%).
