name: cairo-test-organization description: Explain Cairo test organization for unit vs integration tests, tests directory layout, and shared helpers; use when a request involves structuring tests across files or crates in Cairo.

Cairo Test Organization

Overview

Explain how to structure unit and integration tests in Cairo projects.

Quick Use

• Read references/test-organization.md before answering.
• Put unit tests alongside code in src with #[cfg(test)].
• Put integration tests in a top-level tests/ directory.

Response Checklist

• Unit tests can access private functions via module scoping.
• Integration tests compile as separate crates per file and use the public API.
• Use tests/lib.cairo to make the tests folder a single crate with shared helpers.

Example Requests

• "Where do integration tests live in Cairo projects?"
• "How do I share helpers across integration tests?"
• "Can unit tests call private functions?"
