# Good and Bad Tests
|
|
|
|
## Good Tests
|
|
|
|
**Integration-style**: Test through real interfaces, not mocks of internal parts.
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
// GOOD: Tests observable behavior
|
|
test("user can checkout with valid cart", async () => {
|
|
const cart = createCart();
|
|
cart.add(product);
|
|
const result = await checkout(cart, paymentMethod);
|
|
expect(result.status).toBe("confirmed");
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Characteristics:
|
|
|
|
- Tests behavior users/callers care about
|
|
- Uses public API only
|
|
- Survives internal refactors
|
|
- Describes WHAT, not HOW
|
|
- One logical assertion per test
|
|
|
|
## Bad Tests
|
|
|
|
**Implementation-detail tests**: Coupled to internal structure.
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
// BAD: Tests implementation details
|
|
test("checkout calls paymentService.process", async () => {
|
|
const mockPayment = jest.mock(paymentService);
|
|
await checkout(cart, payment);
|
|
expect(mockPayment.process).toHaveBeenCalledWith(cart.total);
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Red flags:
|
|
|
|
- Mocking internal collaborators
|
|
- Testing private methods
|
|
- Asserting on call counts/order
|
|
- Test breaks when refactoring without behavior change
|
|
- Test name describes HOW not WHAT
|
|
- Verifying through external means instead of interface
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
// BAD: Bypasses interface to verify
|
|
test("createUser saves to database", async () => {
|
|
await createUser({ name: "Alice" });
|
|
const row = await db.query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = ?", ["Alice"]);
|
|
expect(row).toBeDefined();
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// GOOD: Verifies through interface
|
|
test("createUser makes user retrievable", async () => {
|
|
const user = await createUser({ name: "Alice" });
|
|
const retrieved = await getUser(user.id);
|
|
expect(retrieved.name).toBe("Alice");
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Tautological tests**: Expected value restates the implementation, so the test passes by construction.
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
// BAD: Expected value is recomputed the way the code computes it
|
|
test("calculateTotal sums line items", () => {
|
|
const items = [{ price: 10 }, { price: 5 }];
|
|
const expected = items.reduce((sum, i) => sum + i.price, 0);
|
|
expect(calculateTotal(items)).toBe(expected);
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// GOOD: Expected value is an independent, known literal
|
|
test("calculateTotal sums line items", () => {
|
|
expect(calculateTotal([{ price: 10 }, { price: 5 }])).toBe(15);
|
|
});
|
|
```
