A beginner-oriented tutorial walks through giving Claude Code its first testing assignment: writing and running tests for a PDF filename check. When one test fails, the author deliberately stops instead of asking the model to fix the code, arguing the failure may be the desired outcome because it shows the test caught the planted bug.
