## Halaye na mijinai masu kyau (FIRST)

```text
FAST → run quickly (so they're run often)
INDEPENDENT/ISOLATED → don't depend on each other or order; each sets up its own state
REPEATABLE → same result every time, any environment (no flakiness)
SELF-VALIDATING → clear pass/fail (assertions, not manual inspection)
TIMELY → written with (or before) the code
```

## Muhimman ayyuka

```text
✓ Test BEHAVIOR, not implementation → tests survive refactoring (don't test internals)
✓ ONE concept per test → focused tests; clear what failed when one breaks
✓ CLEAR NAMES — describe what's tested ("returns error when email is invalid")
✓ Arrange-Act-Assert structure → readable, organized
✓ Cover EDGE cases and error conditions (not just the happy path)
✓ Keep tests SIMPLE and readable (tests are documentation; avoid complex logic in tests)
✓ DETERMINISTIC — no reliance on time, randomness, external state, or order (avoid flaky)
✓ DRY but readable — share setup (fixtures), but keep each test clear on its own
```

## Kaida kaida da suka dace (anti-patterns)

```text
✗ Testing implementation details → brittle tests breaking on every refactor
✗ FLAKY tests (intermittent failures) → erode trust; fix or remove them
✗ Over-mocking → tests coupled to internals
✗ Tests with no clear assertion; giant tests checking many things; interdependent tests
```
