Listest
Listest is a term used in software testing to describe a family of tests that focus on list-like data structures and sequence-processing algorithms. It covers unit tests, property-based tests, and performance checks designed to exercise lists such as arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, and other dynamic or immutable sequence containers. The primary aim is to verify correctness of basic operations, preserve data invariants, and ensure predictable behavior across typical and edge-case scenarios.
Common test strategies in listest include operation-based tests that exercise insertion, deletion, lookup, and iteration; boundary
Performance-focused aspects of listest examine operation latency, throughput, and memory usage, including allocation patterns and cache
In practice, many languages provide list-like types and standard test suites, and the principles of listest
