Write unit tests

Best practices

• Unit tests should go into tests named for the functions being tested.
  • If you have a function Foo, you should have a test function named TestFoo.
  • Methods with receivers should include the name of the receiver's type. A method like func (f *Foo) Bar() {...} should have a test named TestFooBar.
• Tests should only test the behavior of the function. Don't exhaustively test every possible input.
• Each behavior you test should have a test case. If you have more than two test cases, use table-driven tests.
