Test Categories
| Category | Test For |

| Error cases | Invalid input, failures |
| Side effects | State changes, calls made |

Naming
Pattern: should [behavior] when [condition]
Organization
- Group with
describeby function/method - Reset state in
beforeEach - One concept per test
Anti-Patterns
| Don't | Do |
|---|---|
| Test implementation | Test behavior |
| Share mutable state | Reset in beforeEach |
| Many assertions per test | One concept per test |
| Test private methods | Test through public API |
| Snapshot overuse | Assert specific values |
