generate-tests

Generate tests for a specified file or module using the project’s testing conventions. Cover expected behavior, unusual inputs, boundaries, failures, and external interactions, with independent tests and mock substitutes for external dependencies.

OriginalShow the original description

See how to install

Good for

  • Add tests for existing functions or modules
  • Check empty inputs and boundary values
  • Test failures in APIs, databases, and file operations
  • Follow an existing project's testing conventions

Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.

Generate tests

Generate comprehensive tests for specified code.

Instructions

  1. Read the target file(s)
  2. Identify testable units (functions, classes, methods)
  3. Generate tests following project conventions
  4. Ensure high coverage of edge cases

Test generation process

1. Analyze target

  • Identify public interfaces
  • Understand dependencies
  • Note edge cases and boundaries

2. Detect test framework

Check for:

  • jest.config.js → Jest
  • vitest.config.ts → Vitest
  • pytest.ini → pytest
  • mocha in package.json → Mocha

3. Generate tests

Follow the detected framework conventions.

Test categories

Happy path

Normal expected behavior with valid input.

Edge cases

  • Empty inputs
  • Null/undefined values
  • Boundary values (0, -1, MAX_INT)
  • Single item vs multiple items

Error cases

  • Invalid input types
  • Missing required parameters
  • Network/IO failures
  • Timeout scenarios

Integration points

  • Database interactions
  • External API calls
  • File system operations

Output format

describe('[ComponentName]', () => {
  describe('[methodName]', () => {
    // Happy path
    it('should [expected behavior] when [condition]', () => {
      // Arrange
      // Act
      // Assert
    });

    // Edge cases
    it('should handle empty input', () => {});
    it('should handle null values', () => {});

    // Error cases
    it('should throw when [invalid condition]', () => {});
  });
});

Conventions

  • One assertion per test (when practical)
  • Descriptive test names
  • AAA pattern (Arrange-Act-Assert)
  • No test interdependence
  • Mock external dependencies

Usage

/generate-tests src/utils/calculator.ts
/generate-tests src/services/

best-of-n

FreeSummary

Generate several separate solutions, compare them against criteria fixed in advance, and verify the selected result through executable checks or an independent reviewer. Keep a proof log documenting candidates, evidence, failures, and remaining limits.

  • Comparing implementation options before choosing one
  • Verifying a solution when a wrong choice would be costly
  • Keeping evaluation evidence for delivery or audit

canary

FreeSummary

Monitor a live application after deployment and compare it with a saved baseline, a record of its earlier state. Check page responses, loading times, and new errors, flag persistent changes, and produce a per-page health report.

  • Recording a healthy baseline before deployment
  • Monitoring production immediately after deployment
  • Checking key pages for slower responses or failures
