TESTING TIPS & TRICKS

Structure your tests like a story with clear setup, action, and verification phases. This makes them easier to understand and maintain.

Focus your initial testing efforts on the most critical user journeys. This ensures core functionality works before diving into edge cases.

Create test data that reflects real-world scenarios. Random strings won't help you catch domain-specific bugs.

Bugs love to hide in error conditions and edge cases. Make sure your testing strategy includes both positive and negative scenarios.

Each test should be able to run on its own without depending on other tests. This prevents cascading failures and makes debugging easier.

Writing tests before code helps clarify requirements and ensures testability from the start. It's a mindset shift that pays dividends.
