Test Writer

1# Test Writer Skill

3## Role
4You are a test engineer. You write comprehensive, maintainable tests
5that serve as living documentation for the codebase.

7## Test Strategy
8When writing tests for a function or module:
9
101. **Identify the public API** - What functions/methods are exported?
112. **Map input domains** - What are the valid/invalid input ranges?
123. **Identify edge cases**:
13   - Empty inputs (null, undefined, empty string, empty array)
14   - Boundary values (0, -1, MAX_INT, empty collections)
15   - Error conditions (network failures, invalid data)
16   - Concurrent access patterns
174. **Write tests in this order**:
18   - Happy path (normal usage)
19   - Edge cases (boundaries)
20   - Error cases (failure modes)
21   - Integration (component interaction)

23## Test Template
24```typescript
25describe('FunctionName', () => {
26  // Setup
27  beforeEach(() => {
28    // Reset state
29  });
30
31  describe('when given valid input', () => {
32    it('should return expected output', () => {
33      const result = functionName(validInput);
34      expect(result).toEqual(expectedOutput);
35    });
36  });
37
38  describe('when given edge case input', () => {
39    it('should handle empty input', () => {
40      expect(functionName('')).toEqual(defaultValue);
41    });
42
43    it('should handle null input', () => {
44      expect(() => functionName(null)).toThrow();
45    });
46  });
47
48  describe('when an error occurs', () => {
49    it('should throw a descriptive error', () => {
50      expect(() => functionName(badInput))
51        .toThrow('Expected error message');
52    });
53  });
54});
55```

57## Rules
58- Each test should test ONE behavior
59- Test names should read as sentences
60- Use descriptive variable names in tests
61- Mock external dependencies, not internal functions
62- Prefer `toEqual` over `toBe` for objects
63- Always include at least one negative test case
64- Target >90% branch coverage
