Break down large test cases into smaller, focused tests that each verify a single feature or behavior. Each test should have a clear purpose that is evident from its name and structure. This improves test maintainability, readability, and makes failures easier to debug.
Instead of combining multiple test cases:
#[test]
fn test_channel_behavior() {
let (tx, rx) = channel();
// Test multiple behaviors...
assert!(rx.is_empty());
tx.send(1).unwrap();
assert!(!rx.is_empty());
drop(tx);
assert!(rx.is_closed());
}
Break it into focused tests:
#[test]
fn is_empty_returns_true_initially() {
let (_, rx) = channel();
assert!(rx.is_empty());
}
#[test]
fn is_empty_returns_false_after_send() {
let (tx, rx) = channel();
tx.send(1).unwrap();
assert!(!rx.is_empty());
}
#[test]
fn is_closed_returns_true_after_sender_drop() {
let (tx, rx) = channel();
drop(tx);
assert!(rx.is_closed());
}
