Testing for your Sourcegraph Cody-built Go app
Expert testing for Go apps built with Sourcegraph Cody. We audit Sourcegraph Cody-generated Go code for testing issues. From $19.
Sourcegraph Cody issues we find in Go projects
Problems specific to Sourcegraph Cody's code generation patterns when building Go apps.
Suggestions based on deprecated or low-quality code patterns found in the existing codebase
Cody's suggestions are grounded in your actual codebase, which means if the codebase contains outdated patterns, deprecated library usage, or known-bad code, Cody will suggest those same patterns in new code — amplifying technical debt.
Cross-repo context can leak patterns from one team's code into another team's service
In large organizations where Cody indexes multiple repositories, suggestions can carry patterns from one team's codebase into another, introducing unfamiliar dependencies, different error handling conventions, or architectural approaches that do not belong in the target service.
Security vulnerabilities in existing code recommended as reference implementations
If the indexed codebase contains known security issues that have not yet been patched — unparameterized queries, missing auth checks, insecure deserialization — Cody may suggest these patterns as examples when generating similar code.
Go testing issues we check for
Testing-specific Go problems that need attention before production.
Ignored error returns
The most common AI-generated Go anti-pattern: using _ to discard error returns from functions. Errors are silently ignored, and the code continues with zero or nil values, causing subtle data corruption.
Insecure default HTTP server
Using http.ListenAndServe with no timeouts configured. The default Go HTTP server has no read, write, or idle timeouts — making it vulnerable to slowloris and resource exhaustion attacks.
SQL injection via string formatting
Building SQL queries with fmt.Sprintf instead of using parameterized queries with database/sql placeholders, enabling injection attacks.
