  • Automated test setup. Define data seeding, cleanup and stub databases inside each test.
  • Data-driven testing. Run the same test with multiple input values.
  • Docker integration. Run tests against throwaway containers for isolation.
  • Git-based collaboration. Keep test files in version control and share across teams.
