# Interface Design for Testability
|
|
|
|
Good interfaces make testing natural:
|
|
|
|
1. **Accept dependencies, don't create them**
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
// Testable
|
|
function processOrder(order, paymentGateway) {}
|
|
|
|
// Hard to test
|
|
function processOrder(order) {
|
|
const gateway = new StripeGateway();
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. **Return results, don't produce side effects**
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
// Testable
|
|
function calculateDiscount(cart): Discount {}
|
|
|
|
// Hard to test
|
|
function applyDiscount(cart): void {
|
|
cart.total -= discount;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. **Small surface area**
|
|
- Fewer methods = fewer tests needed
|
|
- Fewer params = simpler test setup
