    Most testing advice sounds great until you try it on a real project.

    That’s why I use 4 axioms of testing that hold up in real-world codebases:

    1. You can’t test everything
    2. You can’t prove it’s bug-free
    3. Start early
    4. Bias is real

    Ask this before writing a test:
    **“What’s the purpose of this test in this context?”**

    If it doesn’t verify, protect, or document behavior/specs why write it?

    I like to apply when possible the test design techniques on real code. Here I reviewed a bit of code from the open source Rails app from @zammadhq and applied a systematic process to extract test cases:
