# Testing
URL: https://usememos.com/docs/development/testing

Testing should stay close to the kind of change you made.

## Common checks [#common-checks]

* backend tests for server or store changes
* frontend build and targeted UI checks for web changes
* formatting and linting where required by the repo
* a local smoke test with the built app when behavior changed

## Typical commands [#typical-commands]

```bash
go test ./...
go test ./store/...
go test -cover ./...
go test -race ./...
```

If frontend changes are involved, also run the relevant web checks used by the repo.

## Practical habit [#practical-habit]

Run the smallest useful test loop while developing, then run a broader validation pass before asking for review.
