Testing Conventions

What to test?

Do

Utility methods
Complex implementations (eg: algorithms)
Anything that has edge cases (excl. frontend-interaction)
Core business logic
High-risk Services
Common user interactions
Error cases that you expect to happen frequently (such as entering an incorrect password when logging in)
Interactions between units that were stubbed in the unit tests

Don't

JavaScript and NodeJS core functions
Third-party libraries
External applications
API calls. Stub them unless you’re doing E2E testing
Database operations, unless you’re doing E2E testing
Trivial methods not involving logic (simple getters and setters)
Code that is throw-away or placeholder code
