If you make illegal states impossible in the type system you get a class of tests effectively enforced by the compiler. https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/posts/designing-with-types... https://khalilstemmler.com/articles/typescript-domain-driven... https://erszcz.medium.com/make-illegal-states-unrepresentabl...
