Most testing advice sounds great until you try it on a real project.

That’s why I use 4 axioms of testing that hold up in real-world codebases:

1. You can’t test everything
2. You can’t prove it’s bug-free
3. Start early
4. Bias is real

Ask this before writing a test:
**“What’s the purpose of this test in this context?”**

If it doesn’t verify, protect, or document behavior/specs why write it?
