Write Tests Skill
Trigger Phrases
This skill is automatically triggered when the user:
- Asks to "write tests", "create tests", or "add tests"
- Requests test coverage for code
- Wants to "test" functionality
- Mentions "unit tests", "integration tests", or "E2E tests"
- Asks for test cases or test scenarios
Delegation Instructions
When this skill is triggered:
- Delegate immediately to the
test-writer agent
- Specify what code needs testing
- Include test type requirements (unit, integration, E2E)
- Provide code context and requirements
- Include any specific test scenarios mentioned
Context to Pass
- Code to Test: Files or functions that need tests
- Test Type: Unit, integration, or E2E tests
- Test Scenarios: Specific scenarios to cover
- Requirements: Test requirements or acceptance criteria
- Existing Tests: Related test files for reference
- Test Framework: Testing framework being used
Agent Responsibilities
The test-writer agent will:
- Analyze the code to be tested
- Write comprehensive test cases
- Cover happy paths, edge cases, and error cases
- Follow testing best practices
- Ensure good test coverage
- Write maintainable test code
- Use appropriate test patterns
Usage Examples
Example 1: Unit Tests
User: "Write tests for the calculateTotal function"
Delegation: Delegate to test-writer with:
- Function: calculateTotal
- Test type: Unit tests
- Scenarios: Normal cases, edge cases, errors
Example 2: Integration Tests
User: "Add integration tests for the API endpoints"
Delegation: Delegate to test-writer with:
- Endpoints: API endpoints to test
- Test type: Integration tests
- Scenarios: Request/response flows
Example 3: Test Coverage
User: "Add tests to improve coverage for the user service"
Delegation: Delegate to test-writer with:
- Service: User service
- Goal: Improve coverage
- Focus: Areas with low coverage
Best Practices
- Delegate all test writing to test-writer
- Specify test type clearly
- Provide code context
- Include test scenarios
- Reference existing test patterns
