Does it support the latest Go features like fuzzing?

Absolutely. It includes specific templates and guidance for Go 1.18+ fuzzing to test your code against random, unexpected inputs.

Can this skill help with performance tuning?

Yes, it includes patterns for writing sub-benchmarks and analyzing memory allocations to help you identify and fix performance bottlenecks.

What testing methodologies does this skill support?

It primarily follows the Test-Driven Development (TDD) 'Red-Green-Refactor' cycle and emphasizes idiomatic Go practices like table-driven testing.

How does it handle external dependencies in tests?

It provides idiomatic patterns for mocking using Go interfaces, allowing you to isolate your logic from databases, APIs, or file systems.

Can I use this for existing Go projects?

Yes, the skill is designed to help you both in new feature development and in increasing test coverage for existing legacy codebases.
