|  \n         F\n         |  \n         Fast: Tests are fast, so fast that developers run\n         them with every small change without waits that\n         break the flow.\n                           |
|  \n         I\n         |  \n         Isolated:  Tests are isolated. One test does not\n         set up the next test. Tests also isolate failures.\n                                                   |
|  \n         R\n         |  \n         Repeatable: Tests are repeatable; repeatable\n         means automated. Tests run in a loop always giving\n         the same result.\n                            |
|  \n         S\n         |  \n         Self-verifying:  Tests verify their outcome,\n         reporting a simple “OK” when they pass\n         while providing concise details when they fail.\n         |
|  \n         T\n         |  \n         Timely: Tests are timely. Programmers write them\n         just in time, in lock-step (but just before) the\n         production code, preventing bugs.\n         |
