Run Tests Skill

📋 Overview

Intelligently run project test suites, automatically detecting test frameworks and executing:

• 🔍 Auto-detection: Identify Jest, Pytest, Mocha, JUnit, etc.
• 📊 Coverage reports: Generate code coverage statistics
• ⚡ Parallel execution: Speed up test runs
• 🎯 Selective testing: Support running specific tests

🔧 Prerequisites

Framework	Language	Detection Files	Installation
Pytest	Python	pytest.ini, test_*.py	pip install pytest pytest-cov
Jest	JavaScript	jest.config.js, *.test.js	npm install --save-dev jest
Mocha	JavaScript	mocha.opts, test/	npm install --save-dev mocha
JUnit	Java	pom.xml, build.gradle	Built into Maven/Gradle
Go Test	Go	*_test.go	Built into Go

Note: AI will automatically detect the test framework used by the project

🚀 Usage

Method 1: Use AI Assistant

"Run project tests"
"Execute all unit tests"
"Run tests and generate coverage report"

Method 2: Run Commands Manually

Python (Pytest):

pytest                          # Run all tests
pytest --cov=.                  # Generate coverage
pytest tests/test_api.py        # Run specific file
pytest -k "test_login"          # Run matching tests
pytest -v                       # Verbose output

JavaScript (Jest):

npm test                        # Run all tests
npm test -- --coverage          # Generate coverage
npm test -- api.test.js         # Run specific file
npm test -- -t "login"          # Run matching tests
jest --watch                    # Watch mode

JavaScript (Mocha):

npm test                        # Run all tests
mocha test/                     # Specify directory
mocha test/**/*.test.js         # Use glob
mocha --reporter spec           # Specify reporter format

Java (Maven):

mvn test                        # Run all tests
mvn test -Dtest=ApiTest         # Run specific test class
mvn test -DfailIfNoTests=false  # Don't fail if no tests

Go:

go test ./...                   # Run tests in all packages
go test -v ./...                # Verbose output
go test -cover ./...            # Coverage
go test -run TestLogin          # Run specific test

🎯 Test Types

Unit Tests

• ✅ Function/method level testing
• ✅ Isolated dependencies (Mock/Stub)
• ✅ Fast execution
• ✅ High coverage targets

Integration Tests

• ✅ Multi-component interaction testing
• ✅ Database/API integration
• ✅ End-to-end flows
• ✅ Environment dependencies

Performance Tests

• ✅ Response time testing
• ✅ Load testing
• ✅ Stress testing
• ✅ Benchmark testing

🆘 FAQ

Q: How to run only failed tests?
A:

• Pytest: pytest --lf (last failed)
• Jest: jest --onlyFailures

Q: How to skip slow tests?
A:

• Pytest: Use marker @pytest.mark.slow then pytest -m "not slow"
• Jest: Use test.skip() or --testPathIgnorePatterns

Q: How to run tests in parallel?
A:

• Pytest: pip install pytest-xdist then pytest -n auto
• Jest: Parallel by default, use --maxWorkers=4 to adjust

Q: What if test coverage is low?
A:

1. Identify uncovered code: Check HTML report
2. Write missing tests
3. Refactor complex functions to improve testability

Q: What if tests run slowly?
A:

1. Use parallel execution
2. Mock external dependencies (database, API)
3. Separate fast and slow tests
