What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured approach to designing, implementing, and evaluating OCaml tests, helping teams improve reliability and maintainability of OCaml libraries.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unit test discipline: ensures each lib/.ml module has a corresponding test_.ml in test/, promoting clear coverage.
  • Deterministic testing: advocates mocks and isolated tests to keep test runs fast and repeatable.
  • Guided setup: outlines a conventional project layout (lib/, test/, dune) and how to wire Alcotest test suites with a single runner.
  • Use Case: when starting a new OCaml project, use this Skill to define test architecture, select tools (Alcotest, Dune), and plan mock strategies for IO.

Quick Start

  1. Create a project structure as shown in the example and add a simple test module, e.g., test/test_user.ml, using Alcotest.
  2. Add a dune file that runs the tests with Alcotest and run dune runtest.
  3. Iterate on tests to cover each lib/.ml module with a corresponding test_.ml file.
