This test suite validates the implementation of heap sort algorithm in Go, focusing on sorting array operations and verification of the sorting results. The tests ensure proper functionality of heap-based sorting with various input scenarios.
Test Coverage Overview
The test coverage focuses on validating the heap sort implementation with integer arrays.
Key areas tested include:
- Basic sorting functionality with mixed integers
- Handling of duplicate elements (1 appears twice)
- Array transformation verification
Integration points include the heap sort function interface and array manipulation.
Implementation Analysis
The testing approach utilizes Go’s native testing framework with a straightforward test case structure. The implementation employs the testing.T struct for test execution and uses fmt for output verification.
Testing patterns include:
- Direct function invocation with pointer parameters
- Visual output verification using fmt.Println
- Single test case demonstration with mixed data types
Technical Details
Testing tools and configuration:
- Go testing package (testing)
- Standard fmt package for output
- Pointer-based array manipulation
- Traditional test function naming convention (TestHeapSort)
- Local test execution environment
Best Practices Demonstrated
The test implementation showcases fundamental Go testing practices while maintaining simplicity.
Notable practices include:
- Clear test function naming
- Direct verification approach
- Proper parameter passing mechanisms
- Structured test organization
- Use of appropriate Go testing conventions
