Testy behaviour resistant to change (9)

I believe the answer is:

rattiness

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'testy behaviour' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'resistant to change' is the wordplay.
'to change' is an anagram indicator.
'resistant' is an anagram of 'RATTINESS'.

Can you help me to learn more?
