Use simplest possible test data to make the outcome obvious to the reader. Do not randomize test data. The tests must verify that fixed input produces fixed output. For instance, when testing square root method, do not use value for which nobody knows the answer. func testSquareRoot() { XCTAssertEqual(sqrt(3), 1.73205080757, accuracy: epsilon) // ❌ XCTAssertEqual(sqrt(4), 2, accuracy: epsilon) // ✅ }
