+# Testing Guidelines
+
+## Testing Guidelines
+
+### Test Structure
+Tests are located in `stonyx-cron/test/unit/` and use QUnit modules:
+
+```javascript
+import QUnit from 'qunit';
+import sinon from 'sinon';
+import { setupIntegrationTests } from "stonyx/test-helpers";
+
+const { module, test } = QUnit;
+
+module('[Unit] Cron', function (hooks) {
+  setupIntegrationTests(hooks);
+
+  let cron, clock;
+
+  hooks.beforeEach(function () {
+    clock = sinon.useFakeTimers({ shouldAdvanceTime: false });
+    cron = new Cron();
+  });
+
+  hooks.afterEach(function () {
+    sinon.restore();
+  });
+
+  test('test description', async function (assert) {
+    // Test implementation
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### Fake Timers Pattern (CRITICAL)
+**Always use fake timers for time-based tests:**
+
+```javascript
+// Setup in beforeEach
+clock = sinon.useFakeTimers({ shouldAdvanceTime: false });
+
+// Advance time synchronously
+clock.tick(5000);  // Advance 5 seconds
+
+// For async operations, use tickAsync
+clock.tick(5000);
+await clock.tickAsync(0);  // Process async callbacks
+
+// Cleanup in afterEach
+sinon.restore();
+```
+
+**Why `shouldAdvanceTime: false`?**
+Prevents real time from interfering with fake time, ensuring deterministic tests.
+
+### Spies & Stubs Patterns
+```javascript
+// Spy on function calls
+const cb = sinon.spy();
+cron.register('job1', cb, 5);
+assert.ok(cb.calledOnce, 'Callback executed once');
+
+// Stub methods
+const stub = sinon.stub().rejects(new Error('boom'));
+cron.register('jobErr', stub, 1);
+
+// Spy on existing methods
+const logSpy = sinon.spy(log, 'cron');
+cron.log('test message');
+assert.ok(logSpy.calledOnce, 'Log called');
+```
+
+### Test Coverage Expectations
+Tests should cover:
+- Job registration and execution
+- Rescheduling behavior
+- Unregistration
+- Error handling
+- Configuration-driven logging
+- Edge cases (empty heap, multiple jobs, etc.)
+
+### Running Tests
+```bash
+pnpm test  # Runs: stonyx test
+```
