What is a good test?
When we are writing tests, we need to keep in mind a series of guidelines in order to end up with a useful test suite. Every test we write should have the following properties:
- They should be relevant. A test must be relevant from the point of view of the product. There is no point in testing something that, when it is done, does not clearly move the project forward to completion. This is automatically achieved by BDD, but not by traditional TDD.
- They should be repeatable. Tests must always offer the same results if there has not been a code change. If it is failing, you must change the code to see it pass, and if it is passing, it must not start failing if nobody changed the code. This is achieved through a correct setup of the system and the use of test doubles. If tests are not repeatable, they offer no useful information! I have seen teams ignore tests that are flipping between passing and failing because of incorrect setup or race conditions. It would have been better not to waste time and money in writing a test that nobody cares about because it is not reliable.
- They should be fast. After all, one key point of test-first is rapid feedback and quick iteration. It is not very cost effective if you need to wait 15 minutes for the tests to end whenever you make a code change in a test-first cycle.
- They should be isolated. A test should fail only because the feature (or component) it is testing has a defect. This will help us diagnose the system to pinpoint where the error is. This will help us write code in an incremental fashion in the order our customers require (often, the most valuable features first). If the test is not isolated, then we often cannot write a new test, because we need first to write another feature or component that this one depends on.
