 - Strive for simplicity and clarity, add complexity only when clearly justified

-## Test Philosophy
-- Performance matters. Tests should run as quickly as possible. Sleeps in the code are highly discouraged and should be avoided, to reduce run time and flakiness.
-- Stability matters. Tests should be stable. New tests should be executed 100 times at least to ensure they pass 100 out of 100 times. (use --repeat 100 --max-failures 1 when running it)
-- Unit tests should ideally test one thing and one thing only.
-- Tests for bug fixes should run before the fix - and show the failure and after the fix - and show they now pass.
-- Tests for bug fixes should have in their comments which bug fixes (GitHub or JIRA issue) they test.
-- Tests in debug are always slower, so if needed, reduce number of iterations, rows, data used, cycles, etc. in debug mode.
-- Tests should strive to be repeatable, and not use random input that will make their results unpredictable.
-- Tests should consume as little resources as possible. Prefer running tests on a single node if it is sufficient, for example.
