Summary

Updated testing section structure with new topics (Runner, Authoring, Assertions, API Reference, Workflow Patterns, Cloud Runner, SAM CLI), added links to Best Practices, and revised content descriptions.

Security assessment

Changes are purely documentation restructuring for testing framework topics. No security-related content, vulnerabilities, or security features are mentioned. The updates focus on testing methodology and tooling without security implications.

-## In this section¶
-
-  * [Basic Tests](basic-tests/) Common patterns for asserting on function results and operation execution
-  * [Complex Workflows](complex-workflows/) Testing branching logic, retries, and multi-step sequences
-  * [Stores](stores/) Configuring and inspecting the state store in tests
-  * [Testing Modes](testing-modes/) Running tests locally in-memory or against a deployed Lambda function
+  * [Runner](runner/) The test runner drives replay and checkpointing. When to use the local runner, cloud runner, or SAM CLI.

+  * [Assertions](assertions/) Inspect steps, waits, callbacks, and child contexts after a test run.
+  * [API Reference](api-reference/) Full reference for the runner, result, and operation classes.
+  * [Workflow patterns](workflow-patterns/) Complete tests for sequential steps, parallel operations, child contexts, long waits, and polling.
+  * [Cloud Runner](cloud-runner/) Run the same tests against a deployed Lambda function for integration validation.
