## What it is
A Vim/Neovim plugin that wraps many test runners so you can run tests at different granularities (file, nearest test, suite) directly from the editor. It auto-detects runners, requires zero configuration, and supports multiple execution strategies.

## Use cases
- run tests from inside vim
- run the nearest test under cursor
- run whole test suite without leaving the editor
- test-driven development workflow in neovim
- auto-detect test runner for any language
- run tests in a terminal or tmux split

## When to choose
- you edit in Vim or Neovim and want fast, zero-config test running
- you work across many languages and want one unified test-running interface
- you practice TDD and want to run a single nearest test quickly

## When to avoid
- you use VS Code or another IDE with built-in test runners
- you need a standalone CI test runner outside the editor
- you don't use Vim/Neovim
