Chapter 6 - key points

Normally we test the entire tree, but if it’s too big to feasibly test, we can either prune levels, prune unnecessary branches, or test specific subtrees instead.

We need to decide which headings to exclude – non-global links, overview headings, search, “contact us”, and so on.

Be careful not to miss content that doesn’t have its own page (usually because it’s “hidden” on a landing page).
