Module 15 · Test Architecture & Frameworks

Beyond the 1Z0-830 exam

Module 14 was about writing a good test. This module is about designing a good suite — the strategy, fixtures, frameworks, and run-time concerns that keep hundreds of tests fast, readable, and trustworthy.

Designing a maintainable test suite, not just isolated tests: where to spend testing effort, how to build reusable fixtures, when BDD pays off, and how to run tests in parallel without flakiness.
