3## Running Tests
4
5`go test` is used for testing. A running PostgreSQL
6server is required, with the ability to log in. The
7database to connect to test with is "pqgotest," on
8"localhost" but these can be overridden using [environment
9variables](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/libpq-envars.html).
