Writing Unit Tests
by riekelte67b7af9ac74No license5 starsListed Oct 8, 2026Updated Oct 8, 2026Repository updated 3 weeks ago
Use when writing or refactoring unit tests - a new test file, added cases, a flaky test, an unreadable one. Encodes behavior-first testing: one behavior per test, names that state the claim, deterministic setup, mocks only at boundaries you do not own. Use whenever a test is being written, even a quick one, and whenever a test needs a sleep, a mock of your own code, or a copy of the implementation's math.
