Description

We current don't teach either of:

  • Workflow (as opposed to pipeline) level tests
  • The setup method

We should. Though folks need to understand the pipeline/ workflow distinction, which would introduce a dependency on the 'Workflows of Workflows' side quest.

Research direction

Start by locating the nf-test side quest and review how its current pipeline-level testing material is structured. Add coverage for workflow-level tests and the setup method, explain the pipeline/workflow distinction, and connect the prerequisite to the “Workflows of Workflows” side quest.
