What is Unit Test?
A test that checks if a small piece of code works correctly in isolation
Why It Matters
Unit tests catch bugs quickly and make it safer to change code without breaking things
Real-World Example
A test that verifies your calculateTotal function correctly adds items and applies discounts
“Understanding terms like Unit Test matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”
