tests
Learn tests in Zig with a construct-specific explanation, unique example, engineering boundary, and mastery check.
tests is a focused Zig topic inside Build and I/O. This lesson explains the construct itself, the state or value it operates on, and the observable result it produces.
Read the example as a small executable experiment. Identify the exact syntax that belongs to tests, then change one input and predict the result before running it.
Topic-specific example
test "sum" { try std.testing.expectEqual(@as(i32,4), 2+2); }
tests has rules that are easy to miss when the example is copied mechanically. Check the feature-specific boundary shown by this construct: scope, mutability, evaluation order, type constraints, lifetime, error behavior, compile-time restrictions, or resource cleanup where applicable.
