Why Testing Matters

Testing gives confidence that application features behave as expected and helps prevent regressions when you refactor or ship new functionality. Within the Epic Testing Bundle, the Testing Fundamentals workshop lays the groundwork for thinking in terms of feedback loops and risk reduction.

Key Ideas Captured

1. Define the desired user outcome first, then choose the right level of test.
2. Optimize for fast feedback: start with async-safe unit tests before reaching for heavier tools.
3. Embrace tooling conventions (like vitest and testing-library) to minimize boilerplate.

Next Steps

• Reproduce the workshop examples locally.
• Document any friction points setting up the toolchain.
• Identify one production workflow that could benefit from these practices.
