Quick Reference

Test Strategy: Unit tests (70%) for pure logic/algorithms. Integration tests (20%) for boundaries/APIs. E2E tests (10%) for critical user journeys only. Test behavior, not implementation. More tests resemble real usage = more confidence. 80% coverage sweet spot. Static analysis catches type errors.

Use When

  • Planning test coverage
  • Deciding what to test
  • Building CI/CD pipelines
  • Balancing test types

Skip When

  • Prototypes/throwaway code
  • Single-use scripts
