Password Generator Testing

When to Use

Use this skill when you need to test password generation, validation, or strength-checking functionality.

Testing Guidelines

1. Unit Test Structure

   • Test each password option independently (length, uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols)
   • Test edge cases: minimum length (1), maximum length, empty options
   • Test randomness: generate multiple passwords and verify they differ

2. Test Cases to Include

   • Password meets specified length
   • Password contains required character types
   • Password excludes disabled character types
   • Strength meter returns correct rating
   • Copy-to-clipboard functionality works

3. Running Tests

   # For JavaScript projects
   npm test
   
   # With coverage
   npm test -- --coverage
   

Example Test

test('generates password with correct length', () => {
  const password = generatePassword({ length: 16 });
  expect(password.length).toBe(16);
});
