+## Testing your code
+
+### Mocking parameter values
+
+For unit testing your applications, you can mock the calls to the parameters utility to avoid calling AWS APIs. This can be achieved in a number of ways - in this example, we use [Jest mock functions](https://jestjs.io/docs/es6-class-mocks#the-4-ways-to-create-an-es6-class-mock) to patch the `getParameters` function.
+
+=== "handler.test.ts"
+	```typescript hl_lines="2 4-7 12 18"

+	```
+
+=== "handler.ts"
+	```typescript
+	--8<-- "docs/snippets/parameters/testingYourCodeFunctionsHandler.ts"
+	```
+
+With this pattern in place, you can customize the return values of the mocked function to test different scenarios without calling AWS APIs.
+
+A similar pattern can be applied also to any of the built-in provider classes - in this other example, we use [Jest spyOn method](https://jestjs.io/docs/es6-class-mocks#mocking-a-specific-method-of-a-class) to patch the `get` function of the `AppConfigProvider` class. This is useful also when you want to test that the correct arguments are being passed to the Parameters utility.

+=== "handler.test.ts"
+	```typescript hl_lines="2 6 9 21"

+	```
+
+=== "handler.ts"
+	```typescript
+	--8<-- "docs/snippets/parameters/testingYourCodeProvidersHandler.ts"
+	```
+
+In some other cases, you might want to mock the AWS SDK v3 client itself, in these cases we recommend using the [`aws-sdk-client-mock`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/aws-sdk-client-mock) and [`aws-sdk-client-mock-jest`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/aws-sdk-client-mock-jest) libraries. This is useful when you want to test how your code behaves when the AWS SDK v3 client throws an error or a specific response.

+	```typescript
+	--8<-- "docs/snippets/parameters/testingYourCodeClientHandler.ts"
+	```
+
+### Clearing cache
+
+Parameters utility caches all parameter values for performance and cost reasons. However, this can have unintended interference in tests using the same parameter name.
+
+Within your tests, you can use `clearCache` method available in [every provider](#built-in-provider-class). When using multiple providers or higher level functions like `getParameter`, use the `clearCaches` standalone function to clear cache globally.
