  • I created a package to encourage developers in my team to write tests. What do you think? Any feedback? Thanks!

    If you want to enforce testing automatically probably the best option is to rely on mutation testing, using Infection. That doesn't just check that the tests cover the code, it checks that if the code was different to what it is then the tests would (usually) fail.
  • Am I writing the right kinds of (unit) tests? See below for an example. Thanks!

    For your last edit - you can also add infection which will infect your code with other values, like if you expect a positive number, it will try and inject a negative number - and see what happens - does your code break everything or something. Also it will try to inject false where you might expect a true and many many other things, and yes you will get some weird results from infection, but its a good thing to look at, and atleast check the logs and see why the infection failed at a test.

    That's practically a light form of mutant testing. Have you checked Infection?
