# High Level Read Receipt Tests

Tips for writing these tests:

-   Break up your tests into the smallest test case possible. The purpose of
    these tests is to understand hard-to-find bugs, so small tests are necessary.
    We know that Cypress recommends combining tests together for performance, but
    that will frustrate our goals here. (We will need to find a different way to
    reduce CI time.)

-   Try to assert something after every action, to make sure it has completed.
    E.g.:
    markAsRead(room2);
    assertRead(room2);
    You should especially follow this rule if you are jumping to a different
    room or similar straight afterwards.

-   Use assertStillRead() if you are asserting something is read when it was
    also read before. This waits a little while to make sure you're not getting a
    false positive.
