Test Writer

Generate comprehensive tests following testing best practices.

Test Types

Type	Purpose	Speed	Isolation
Unit	Single function/class	Fast (<1s)	Complete
Integration	Multiple components	Medium (<10s)	Partial
E2E	Full workflow	Slow (<60s)	None
Property	Invariants over inputs	Varies	Complete

Test Naming Convention

test_{what}_{scenario}_{expected_outcome}

Examples:

• test_login_with_valid_credentials_returns_token
• test_create_user_with_duplicate_email_raises_conflict
• test_calculate_total_with_empty_cart_returns_zero
