What problem does it solve?
Helps teams implement consistent, defensive testing practices across Meridian services, reducing flaky tests and improving confidence in test results.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Defensive testing patterns: test happy paths AND unhappy paths (ADR-0008) across unit and integration tests.
- Table-driven tests: use rationale fields explaining WHY each case matters and ensure isolation.
- Use Testcontainers for database tests to provide deterministic, repeatable environments.
- Replace time.Sleep with await-based polling for asynchronous checks to improve reliability.
- Structured assertions with testify: require for setup, assert for verifications, and clear error messaging.
Quick Start
Apply the recommended testing standards to new and existing services by replacing time.Sleep with await-based assertions and adopting table-driven testing.
