+
+Here's the breakdown of the different types of tests:
+
+* Functional - 57 tests, 180 assertions
+* Kernel - 38 tests, 495 assertions
+* Unit - 5 tests, 18 assertions
+
+I'm following [the outside-in approach](https://www.oliverdavies.uk/archive/2023/09/14/outside-in-or-inside-out), starting with functional tests and moving to kernel and unit tests where needed - meaning more functional tests and fewer unit tests - most of which cover some complex search functionality containing custom blocks, forms, endpoints for autocomplete lists, pattern matching and results pages, which is the core functionality of the project.
+
+The tests are run automatically in a CI pipeline by GitHub Actions and Docker and usually run in two or three minutes.
+
+The project is still in progress, so I'll add more tests for the remaining functionality and possibly remove some too, as I refactor some of the code.

+P.S. Are you interested in automated testing and test-driven development? I'm speaking about it at DrupalCon Europe on the 17th of November!
