# Rust Testing Patterns

Comprehensive Rust testing patterns for writing reliable, maintainable tests following TDD methodology.

## When to Use

- Writing new Rust functions, methods, or traits
- Adding test coverage to existing code
- Creating benchmarks for performance-critical code
- Implementing property-based tests for input validation
- Following TDD workflow in Rust projects

## How It Works

1. **Identify target code** — Find the function, trait, or module to test
2. **Write a test** — Use `#[test]` in a `#[cfg(test)]` module, rstest for parameterized tests, or proptest for property-based tests
3. **Mock dependencies** — Use mockall to isolate the unit under test
4. **Run tests (RED)** — Verify the test fails with the expected error
5. **Implement (GREEN)** — Write minimal code to pass
6. **Refactor** — Improve while keeping tests green
7. **Check coverage** — Use cargo-llvm-cov, target 80%+

## TDD Workflow for Rust

### The RED-GREEN-REFACTOR Cycle

```
RED     → Write a failing test first
GREEN   → Write minimal code to pass the test
REFACTOR → Improve code while keeping tests green
REPEAT  → Continue with next requirement
```
