Create reliable and reproducible tests by explicitly controlling test inputs and verifying function behavior doesn’t have unintended side effects. Two key practices to follow:
// Call function under test PCA.pca_factor(inputMatrix, …);
// Verify input wasn’t modified assertEquals(duplicateInput, inputMatrix);
2. Make tests deterministic by setting explicit seeds for any operations involving randomness:
```java
// Use a specific seed to ensure deterministic behavior
MultiLayerConfiguration conf = new NeuralNetConfiguration.Builder()
.seed(2021) // Important: ensures consistent initialization for tests
.dataType(DataType.DOUBLE)
// other configuration
.build();
Including these practices in your tests will help prevent flaky tests, make debugging easier, and ensure that test failures represent actual issues rather than side effects or randomness.
