testing-standards

What problem does it solve?

This Skill establishes and enforces rigorous testing standards, ensuring all code is developed using Test-Driven Development (TDD) and adheres to best practices for test writing, naming, and mocking.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Mandatory TDD: Enforces the Red-Green-Refactor cycle for all implementation tasks.
• Test Writing Standards: Defines guidelines for test quantity, focus, structure, and linkage to acceptance criteria.
• Clear Naming Conventions: Provides examples for effective test naming in PHP and JavaScript.
• Mocking Strategy: Outlines what to mock, what not to mock, and the preference for fakes over mocks.
• Gap Analysis: Guides the process of identifying and closing critical test coverage gaps after initial TDD.
• Use Case: Ensure that every new feature developed by the team is built with a failing test first, leading to more reliable and maintainable code.

Quick Start

Follow the TDD Red-Green-Refactor cycle for all new code development.
