What's going on
Error testing ensures proper handling.
Error Throwing Tests
Verify errors thrown
Check error messages
Validate error types
Error Type Tests
instanceof checks
Error names
Custom error types
Mock Scenarios
Network errors
Timeout errors
Validation errors
Various failures
Assertion Helpers
Check error thrown
Verify error type
Test error handling
Async Error Tests
Promise rejections
Async/await errors
Error propagation
Integration Tests
Multiple scenarios
Error boundaries
Recovery logic
Best Practices
Test all error paths
Mock error scenarios
Verify error handling
Test recovery
