Write tests that are direct, focused, and free of unnecessary complexity. Remove redundant test fields, use direct assertions with expected values, and leverage existing fixtures instead of creating temporary content.

Key principles:

Example of simplification:

// Before: Complex test with unused fields
type test struct {
    errType errorType
    err     error          // unused
    resCode int
    msg     string         // unused
    errTypeToStatusCode ErrorTypeToStatusCode
}

// After: Simplified test structure
type test struct {
    errType             errorType
    resCode             int
    errTypeToStatusCode ErrorTypeToStatusCode
}

// Use direct values instead of variables
api.respondError(w, &apiError{tc.errType, errors.New("message")}, "test")

This approach makes tests more maintainable, easier to understand, and less prone to errors from unused or redundant code.
