When writing tests, it is good to stick to the F.I.R.S.T principles of testing (popularized by the book Clean Code by Robert C Martin ). These principles tell us our tests should be: Fast. In the long run, this will result in tests that are hard to maintain and understand. Lower-level testing. Independent.
