    ERT doesn't have much to help with this, but Buttercup has a number of facilities to help with controlling the environment around each test: https://github.com/jorgenschaefer/emacs-buttercup/

    Are you talking about when you're noodling, trying to figure how things work, or actually trying to build something?

    For playing around, I found that scratch works ok, but I found a better workflow.

    I end up using a daily note in org-roam, with #begin_src elisp... I then tag the heading with :REFILE:ELISP: so I can always find it later. Basically evaluate everything inline within that org-babel block.

    When I'm building something, or driving towards a specific goal, I use buttercup [0] to write actual unit tests. If I squint, it kinda looks like TDD.

    Finally, for debugging of running elisp, take a look at edebug [1]. It's a pretty standard looking debugger (if you used something like gdb). By default emacs uses debug which is not as friendly.

    Ok, before posting this I looked up a bit and found this and this. Buttercup seems great. Links or tips from experienced developers are welcome.
