Testing terms
The discipline that lets you change code without fear
Tests are the safety net that lets you refactor without fear and ship without dread. This category covers unit, integration, and end-to-end testing strategies, test doubles, coverage metrics, TDD and BDD approaches, and the tooling ecosystem across languages. A well-tested codebase is not slower to build — it is faster to evolve.
