Setting up a test suite for the CockroachDB implementation

To create and wire the test suite for the CockroachDB implementation, we will follow exactly the same steps that we did for the in-memory implementation. The first step is to define a test suite that embeds the shared graphtest.SuiteBase type and register it with go test:

var _ = gc.Suite(new(CockroachDBGraphTestSuite))

type CockroachDBGraphTestSuite struct {
    graphtest.SuiteBase
    db *sql.DB
}

// Register our test-suite with go test.
func Test(t *testing.T) { gc.TestingT(t) }

Then, we need to provide a setup method for the test suite that will create a new CockroachDB graph instance and wire it to the base suite. Following the testing paradigm we discussed in Chapter 4, The Art of ...
