Run Go tests using the go test command with optional flags for verbose output or specific test selection.
Run go test in your package directory to execute all tests ending in _test.go.
go test
To run tests with verbose output showing each test name as it runs, use the -v flag:
go test -v
To run a specific test function, use the -run flag followed by a regular expression matching the test name:
go test -run TestReader
The go test command automatically finds and runs your test files to verify your code works correctly. It acts like a quality check, similar to a spellchecker for your logic, ensuring your functions return the expected results. You use it before sharing code to catch bugs early.
