My pref is to have the test include only the data that makes the test unique. In this example, I'd prefer a function named buildUser that handles irrelevant props, and pass relevant props into it.

      @housecor @donavon function buildUser(specs) { return { eyeColor: "some color", ...specs } } it('tests something', () => { const user = buildUser({ email: 'user@place.com' }) .... }) The test now shows only the info pertinent to this test.

        @housecor @donavon I guess in regards to the actual values, I like reasonable values that are obviously fake, but that's definitely less important to me than irrelevant data in every test. Ps it is exhausting writing code on a mobile keyboard 😅
