Ok, well, if you ever come across a test framework named AuTest, you can blame me, because I'm stealing the shit out of that.

Use triple backticks instead of one if you are trying to get monospace syntax

"What if the test fail?"

What if the test of the test fails?

Write a test of a test!

It's strangely satisfying when the "this will probably never happen" test case finds a problem during development.

I had tests for deleting that were like

  • create item a
  • create item b
  • delete item a via the code under test
  • assert item a is gone
  • assert item b is still there

I thought maybe the whole bit with item b was excessive, but sure enough one day I accidentally fucked something up and deleted all the items, and the test pointed it out before the bad code left my local machine.

Think of it as a function you can unleash on othersโ€ฆ
