FAQPage Schema
What's the best way to structure unit tests for a new feature?

Effective mocking isolates the system under test by replacing dependencies with controllable substitutes. This Skill provides guidance on implementing mocking strategies and handling asynchronous operations to ensure your integration tests remain robust and deterministic.

How do I write tests for error handling and edge cases?

Writing tests for error cases involves validating that your code handles failures and edge scenarios gracefully. You should structure tests to trigger exceptions and assert error responses, ensuring all critical paths and error conditions are covered.

Does this testing guidance apply to e2e and integration tests?

Yes, this guidance covers end-to-end (e2e) and integration tests alongside unit tests. It provides best practices for testing patterns, frameworks, and strategies to improve code quality and reliability across all test types.

What are test data builders and when do I need them?

Test data builders are patterns used to construct complex test data objects fluently. You need them when writing integration or e2e tests to simplify setup, reduce duplication, and ensure test data remains manageable as your test suite grows.
