 `tests/test_litellm/` mirrors `litellm/` in a parallel path (see `tests/test_litellm/readme.md`). Name tests `test_<filename>.py`, but always match the existing test file in the directory you touch — many provider dirs use longer descriptive names (e.g. `test_anthropic_chat_transformation.py`) to avoid ambiguity across sibling folders. For bug fixes, extend the existing mapped test file rather than creating a new one. Only create a new test file for a new feature (provider, endpoint, or transformation module) that has no mapped test yet, following that directory's naming convention (or `test_<filename>.py` if you're the first test there). One focused regression test beats many shallow ones
