A test doesn't just make sure it works


A test doesn't just make sure it works.

A test makes sure everyone understands how it should work.

Tests are documentation.
Habit: I run tests as part of code reviews to see the intended behavior. This is especially useful with Playwright/Cypress tests, since I can watch the test automate the browser.

Tests help me review code effectively because tests help me understand the code’s intent.
