Effective testing is crucial for software quality. Build a testing strategy that balances coverage, speed, and maintenance effort.
The testing pyramid guides investment. Write many unit tests, fewer integration tests, and minimal E2E tests. Each layer serves a different purpose.
Unit tests verify individual components. Mock dependencies to isolate the code under test. Aim for high coverage of business logic.
Integration tests validate component interactions. Test API contracts, database operations, and external service integrations. Use containers for consistent test environments.
