How to Get Started with GoMock

Sep 23, 2024 By Kasper Siig In Speedscale
GoMock is a powerful tool for generating mock objects in Go, making it an essential asset for developers aiming to write advanced unit tests. By simulating the behavior of real objects, GoMock allows you to test your code in isolation, ensuring that each component functions correctly on its own. This capability is particularly useful in a language like Go, where interfaces play a crucial role in defining the behavior of different components.

How to parameterize Playwright projects

Sep 20, 2024 By Stefan Judis In Checkly
In a previously released YouTube video, I explained how and why Playwright fixtures perfectly match with page object models. Combining the two allows you to hide setup instructions and keep your tests clean. Page object models no longer have to be initialized in every test case. To be upfront — I'm a fixture fanboy! But what if you need to pass additional configuration to your page object models? When options are hidden in a fixture, you can't configure how a class is initialized, right? Wrong!
