🎓 Best Practices

Recommended Usage Patterns

  1. Use Test Discovery Mode:

    zig-test --test-dir tests

  2. Enable Coverage Regularly:

    zig-test --test-dir tests --coverage

  3. Use Async for I/O Tests:

    try itAsync(allocator, "api call", testApiCall);

  4. Set Appropriate Timeouts:

    try itTimeout(allocator, "slow test", testFn, 10000);

  5. Use Hooks for Setup/Teardown:

    try beforeEach(alloc, setupFn);
try afterEach(alloc, cleanupFn);

  6. Always Clean Up:

    defer cleanupRegistry();
