Testing

Test strategy across the pyramid — see SYSTEM_DESIGN_ALIGNMENT.md section 9.5 for the full breakdown (unit through mutation testing).

Why we need this / what value this brings

Tests are what let you change code with confidence instead of fear — the ROI compounds as the codebase grows.

When to use this

Write tests alongside the code, not after — retrofitting tests onto untested code is far more work and usually gets skipped.

How to use or implement this

Prioritize tests around the highest-stakes, highest-change-frequency code first (the booking/payment flow), not 100% coverage everywhere equally.
