 ## Unit Tests
 
 ### Pre-requisites
-
-- MySQL is preferrable - however we fallback to SQLite
+- MySQL is preferred - however tests can fallback on SQLite too
 
 ### Setup  
 
-- All the tests are in `packages/nocodb` folder, which will be our working directory. Use the following command to get into that folder.
-
 ```bash
 cd packages/nocodb
-```
 
-- Install the dependencies for `nocodb` package
-
-```bash
 npm install
-```
-
-#### Environment variables
 
-- Add your `env` file with the following command
-
-``` bash
+# add a .env file
 cp tests/unit/.env.sample tests/unit/.env
-```
-
-- Open the `.env` file
 
-``` bash
+# open .env file
 open tests/unit/.env
-````

-
-> DB_USER : mysql username </br>
-> DB_PASSWORD : mysql password </br>
-> DB_HOST : mysql host </br>
-> DB_PORT : mysql port </br>

+> DB_HOST : host </br>
+> DB_PORT : port </br>
+> DB_USER : username </br>
+> DB_PASSWORD : password </br>
 
+### Run Tests
 ``` bash
 npm run test:unit
 ```
 
-### Key points
+## Unit tests : Notes
 
 - All individual unit tests are independent of each other. We don't use any shared state between tests.
 - Test environment includes `sakila` sample database and any change to it by a test is reverted before running other tests.
 - While running unit tests, it tries to connect to mysql server running on `localhost:3306` with username `root` and password `password`(which can be configured) and if not found, it will use `sqlite` as a fallback, hence no requirement of any sql server to run tests.
 
+### Folder structure
+
+The root folder for unit tests is `packages/tests/unit`
+
+- `rest` folder contains all the test suites for rest apis.
+- `model` folder contains all the test suites for models.
+- `factory` folder contains all the helper functions to create test data.
+- `init` folder contains helper functions to configure test environment.
+- `index.test.ts` is the root test suite file which imports all the test suites.
+- `TestDbMngr.ts` is a helper class to manage test databases (i.e. creating, dropping, etc.).
+
+### Patterns to follow
+
+- **Factories**
+  - Use factories for create/update/delete data. No data should be directly create/updated/deleted in the test.
+  - While writing a factory make sure that it can be used with as less parameters as possible and use default values for other parameters.
+  - Use named parameters for factories.
+  ``` typescript
+    createUser({ email, password})
+  ```
+  - Use one file per factory.
+

 ### Walk through of writing a unit test
 
 We will create an `Table` test suite as an example.
