Testing Best Practices
Industry-standard testing best practices and multi-agent workflows for building reliable, maintainable test suites at scale.
Core Principles
Write Tests First
Follow Test-Driven Development (TDD) principles. Write failing tests before implementing functionality to ensure comprehensive coverage.
Keep Tests Simple
Each test should verify one specific behavior. Avoid complex logic in tests and maintain clear, readable test code.
Fast Feedback
Optimize test execution speed. Run unit tests frequently and reserve slower integration tests for appropriate stages.
Maintainable Tests
Write tests that are easy to update when requirements change. Use descriptive names and clear assertions.
