Introduction
Explore core concepts of testing, profiling, and code optimization in Go, focusing on writing correct and maintainable code first. Understand how to detect bugs early, benchmark performance, and use tools for tracing and profiling to enhance your programs effectively.
We'll cover the following...
Overview of code testing and profiling
The topics of this chapter are both practical and important, especially if we are interested in improving the performance of our Go programs and discovering bugs. This chapter primarily addresses code optimization, code testing, and code profiling.
Code optimization is the process where one or more developers try to make certain parts of a program run faster, be more efficient, or use fewer resources. Put simply, code optimization is about eliminating the bottlenecks of a program that matter. Code testing is about making sure that our code does what we want it to do. In this chapter, we are experiencing the Go way of code testing. The ...
