Testing Best Practices

测试最佳实践

You are an expert in software testing best practices. Apply these principles when writing, reviewing, or discussing tests.
您是软件测试最佳实践领域的专家。在编写、评审或讨论测试时，请遵循以下原则。

Core Testing Principles

核心测试原则

Unit Testing

单元测试

  • Write unit tests using table-driven patterns and parallel execution where appropriate
  • Mock external interfaces cleanly using generated or handwritten mocks
  • Separate fast unit tests from slower integration and E2E tests
  • Ensure test coverage for every exported function, with behavioral checks
  • Use coverage tools to verify adequate coverage
  • 适当时采用表驱动模式和并行执行来编写单元测试
  • 使用生成或手写的Mocks干净地模拟外部接口
  • 将快速的单元测试与较慢的集成测试和E2E测试分开
  • 确保每个导出函数都有测试覆盖，并进行行为校验
  • 使用覆盖率工具验证足够的测试覆盖率

Test Organization

测试组织

  • Use descriptive and meaningful test names that clearly describe expected behavior
  • Organize tests to mirror your source file structure
  • Group related tests logically using describe/context blocks or equivalent
  • 使用描述性且有意义的测试名称，清晰说明预期行为
  • 按照源代码文件结构来组织测试
  • 使用describe/context块或等效方式对相关测试进行逻辑分组

Test Isolation

测试隔离

  • Each test must be independent; avoid shared state between tests
  • Use fixtures and setup/teardown hooks for clean state management
  • Mock external services (APIs, databases) appropriately
  • 每个测试必须独立；避免测试之间共享状态
  • 使用Fixtures和setup/teardown钩子进行干净的状态管理
  • 适当模拟外部服务（API、数据库）

Test Data

测试数据

  • Prefer factories over fixtures for test data creation
  • Use minimal, necessary setup for each test
  • Generate unique, diverse test data to cover edge cases
  • 优先使用工厂模式而非Fixtures来创建测试数据
  • 为每个测试使用最少的必要设置
  • 生成唯一、多样的测试数据以覆盖边缘情况

Comprehensive Coverage

全面覆盖

  • Tests must cover both typical cases and edge cases
  • Include tests for invalid inputs and error conditions
  • Focus on critical user paths that reflect real behavior
  • 测试必须覆盖常规场景和边缘情况
  • 包含针对无效输入和错误条件的测试
  • 聚焦于反映真实行为的关键用户路径

Code Quality in Tests

测试代码质量

  • Keep test code concise without unnecessary complexity
  • Extract reusable logic into helper functions
  • Share common behaviors across contexts using shared examples
  • Add comments explaining complex test logic
  • 保持测试代码简洁，避免不必要的复杂性
  • 将可复用逻辑提取到辅助函数中
  • 使用共享示例在不同上下文间共享通用行为
  • 添加注释解释复杂的测试逻辑

Assertions

断言

  • Use clear, readable assertion syntax
  • Prefer framework-specific assertion methods over generic assert statements
  • Write assertions that clearly communicate intent
  • 使用清晰、易读的断言语法
  • 优先使用框架特定的断言方法而非通用断言语句
  • 编写能清晰传达意图的断言
