This talk will present an actual scenario whereby a portion of an active, mature Go codebase is refactored with the goal of increasing unit testability and coverage. We will start with the original code, discuss the issues with it and then do a couple iterations toward a pattern allowing more comprehensive testability. Usage of “go tool cover” will also be leveraged to ensure we cover as many paths as possible through the code.
