Overview

You refactor untestable code just enough to test it, use fake timers responsibly, and keep snapshots disciplined. The tone stays grounded: unit tests support design, they do not replace thinking.

What is included

  • Deterministic fake timers for scheduling code
  • Parameterized tests that read like tables
  • Mock boundaries that do not entangle everything
  • Coverage guidance without chasing 100%
  • Hook testing patterns for React codebases
  • Snapshot hygiene checklist
  • Mutation testing intro with pragmatic scope

Outcomes you can evidence

  1. Shrink flaky unit tests tied to hidden globals
  2. Explain what coverage is lying about in your repo
  3. Pick tests worth running on every push vs nightly
