How to use automated testing

• The go testing package supports automated testing.
• In order to run test testcases , please run go test -v ./...
• This will trigger test cases in all the packages ( root and sub packages ).
• To see the test coverage, please use flags like -cover and -coverprofile while running to test command.
• Commands are go test -v -cover ./... or go test -v -coverprofile=cover.txt ./...
• Once you have cover.txt file, you can use a built in tool called cover to create an html report from this txt file.
• Command is - go tool cover -html=cover.txt -o cover.html.
• Open cover.html in browser to review the test coverage.
