# Unit Tests
Most parts of ESLint have unit tests associated with them. Unit tests are written using [Mocha](https://mochajs.org/) and are required when making contributions to ESLint. You'll find all of the unit tests in the `tests` directory.
When you first get the source code, you need to run `npm install` once initially to set ESLint for development. Once you've done that, you can run the tests via:
npm test
This automatically starts Mocha and runs all tests in the `tests` directory. You need only add yours and it will automatically be picked up when running tests.
## Running Individual Tests
If you want to quickly run just one test file, you can do so by running Mocha directly and passing in the filename. For example:
npm run test:cli tests/lib/rules/no-wrap-func.js
If you want to run just one or a subset of `RuleTester` test cases, add `only: true` to each test case or wrap the test case in `RuleTester.only(...)` to add it automatically:
```js
ruleTester.run("my-rule", myRule, {
valid: [
RuleTester.only("const valid = 42;"),
// Other valid cases
],
invalid: [
{
code: "const invalid = 42;",
only: true,
},
// Other invalid cases
]
})
```
Running individual tests is useful when you're working on a specific bug and iterating on the solution. You should be sure to run `npm test` before submitting a pull request. `npm test` uses Mocha's `--forbid-only` option to prevent `only` tests from passing full test runs.
## More Control on Unit Testing
`npm run test:cli` is an alias of the Mocha cli in `./node_modules/.bin/mocha`. [Options](https://mochajs.org/#command-line-usage) are available to be provided to help to better control the test to run.
