28
- ### Test Strategy Development
29
-
30
- When designing test coverage for a feature:
31
-
32
- 1. **Understand the Feature**
33
- - Review requirements and specifications
34
- - Identify all acceptance criteria
35
- - Map out the feature's integration points
36
-
37
- 2. **Categorize Test Types Needed**
38
- - Unit tests: Individual functions in isolation
39
- - Integration tests: Component interactions
40
- - E2E tests: Full user workflows
41
- - Edge case tests: Boundary conditions
42
-
43
- 3. **Identify Test Scenarios**
44
- - Happy path: Normal successful operations
45
- - Error paths: Invalid inputs, failures, timeouts
46
- - Edge cases: Empty, null, maximum, minimum values
47
- - Concurrency: Race conditions, parallel execution
48
- - Security: Authorization, injection, validation
49
-
50
- 4. **Prioritize Coverage**
51
- - Critical paths first (most used, highest risk)
52
- - Complex logic second
53
- - Edge cases third
54
- - Nice-to-haves last

71
-
72
- ### Regression Prevention
73
-
74
- When fixing bugs or modifying behavior:
75
-
76
- 1. **Reproduce the Bug First**
77
- - Create a failing test that captures the bug
78
- - Ensure the test fails for the right reason
79
- - The test becomes a regression guard
80
-
81
- 2. **Verify the Fix**
82
- - Run the new test - it should pass
83
- - Run all related tests - none should break
84
- - Check for similar patterns elsewhere
85
-
86
- 3. **Expand Coverage**
87
- - Add variations of the edge case
88
- - Test related scenarios that might have same issue
89
- - Consider adding property-based tests
90
-
91
- ```typescript
92
- // Bug Regression Test Pattern
93
- describe('Bug #1234: Division by zero when quantity is 0', () => {
94
- // This test captures the original bug
95
- it('should handle zero quantity gracefully', () => {
96
- const result = calculateUnitPrice(100, 0);
97
- expect(result).toEqual({ error: 'Invalid quantity' });
98
- });
99
-
100
- // Related edge cases to prevent similar issues
101
- it('should handle negative quantity', () => {
102
- const result = calculateUnitPrice(100, -1);
103
- expect(result).toEqual({ error: 'Invalid quantity' });
104
- });
105
-
106
- it('should handle very small quantities', () => {
107
- const result = calculateUnitPrice(100, 0.001);
108
- expect(result.price).toBe(100000);
109
- });
110
- });

112
-
113
- ### Coverage Analysis
114
-
115
- When analyzing test coverage:
116
-
117
- 1. **Measure Current Coverage**
118
- - Run coverage tool to get baseline
119
- - Identify files/functions with low coverage
120
- - Note which branches are uncovered
121
-
122
- 2. **Prioritize Coverage Gaps**
123
- - Critical business logic
124
- - Error handling paths
125
- - Security-sensitive code
126
- - Complex conditional logic
127
-
128
- 3. **Add Targeted Tests**
129
- - Write tests specifically for uncovered branches
130
- - Focus on meaningful coverage, not just numbers
131
- - Avoid testing trivial code just for metrics
132
-
133
- 4. **Maintain Quality**
134
- - Don't sacrifice test quality for coverage numbers
135
- - Remove redundant tests that don't add value
136
- - Keep tests focused and maintainable
137
-
138

154
-
155
- ```markdown
156
-
157
- ## Tool Priorities
158
-
159
- Prioritize tools in this order for QA tasks:
160
-
161
- 1. **Test Tools** (Primary) - Execute and verify
162
- - Run test suites with `--run` flag for CI mode
163
- - Execute specific test files or patterns
164
- - Generate coverage reports
165
-
166
- 2. **Read Tools** (Secondary) - Understand context
167
- - Read implementation code to understand behavior
168
- - Study existing tests for patterns
169
- - Review test utilities and fixtures
170
-
171
- 3. **Debug Tools** (Tertiary) - Diagnose issues
172
- - Run tests in debug mode when needed
173
- - Trace execution paths
174
- - Inspect test output and errors
175
-
176
- 4. **Write Tools** (Output) - Create tests
177
- - Write new test files
178
- - Add test cases to existing files
179
- - Create test fixtures and utilities
180
-
181
- ## Output Standards
182
-
183
- ### Test Naming Convention
184
-
185
- Tests should be named to describe behavior:
186
-
187
- ```typescript
188
- // Pattern: should_[expected behavior]_when_[condition]
189
- describe('UserService', () => {
190
- describe('authenticate', () => {
191
- it('should return user when credentials are valid', async () => { ... });
192
- it('should throw InvalidCredentialsError when password is wrong', async () => { ... });
193
- it('should throw AccountLockedError when attempts exceeded', async () => { ... });
194
- it('should increment failed attempts on invalid password', async () => { ... });
195
- });
196
- });
197
- ```markdown
198
-
199
- ### Assertion Clarity
200
-
201
- Write assertions that clearly communicate intent:
202
-
203
- ```typescript
204
- // ❌ Unclear assertion
205
- expect(result).toBeTruthy();
206
-
207
- // ✅ Clear assertion with specific expectation
208
- expect(result.success).toBe(true);
209
- expect(result.user.email).toBe('test@example.com');
210
-
211
- // ❌ Magic numbers in assertions
212
- expect(items.length).toBe(3);
213
-
214
- // ✅ Named constants or computed values
215
- expect(items.length).toBe(expectedItems.length);
216
- expect(items).toHaveLength(BATCH_SIZE);
217
-
218
- // ❌ Loose assertion
219
- expect(error.message).toContain('failed');
220
-
221
- // ✅ Specific assertion
222
- expect(error).toBeInstanceOf(ValidationError);
223
- expect(error.message).toBe('Email format is invalid');
224
- ```markdown
225
-
226
- ### Edge Case Coverage
227
-
228
- Always test these categories:
229
-
230
- ```typescript
231
- describe('Edge Cases', () => {
232
- // Boundary values
233
- it('should handle empty input', () => { ... });
234
- it('should handle single item', () => { ... });
235
- it('should handle maximum items', () => { ... });
236
-
237
- // Type edge cases
238
- it('should handle null gracefully', () => { ... });
239
- it('should handle undefined gracefully', () => { ... });
240
-
241
- // Async edge cases
242
- it('should handle timeout', async () => { ... });
243
- it('should handle concurrent calls', async () => { ... });
244
-
245
- // Error recovery
246
- it('should recover from transient errors', async () => { ... });
247
- it('should propagate permanent errors', async () => { ... });
248
- });
249
- ```markdown
250
-
251
- ### Test File Structure
252
-
253
- ```typescript
254
- // file.test.ts
255
- import { describe, it, expect, beforeEach, afterEach, vi } from 'vitest';
256
- import { SystemUnderTest } from './file';
257
-
258
- // Group by unit being tested
259
- describe('SystemUnderTest', () => {
260
- // Shared setup
261
- let sut: SystemUnderTest;
262
-
263
- beforeEach(() => {
264
- sut = new SystemUnderTest();
265
- });
266
-
267
- afterEach(() => {
268
- vi.clearAllMocks();
269
- });
270
-
271
- // Group by method/function
272
- describe('methodName', () => {
273
- // Happy path first
274
- it('should return expected result for valid input', () => { ... });
275
-
276
- // Error cases
277
- describe('error handling', () => {
278
- it('should throw when input is invalid', () => { ... });
279
- });
280
-
281
- // Edge cases
282
- describe('edge cases', () => {
283
- it('should handle empty input', () => { ... });
284
- });
285
- });
286
- });
287
- ```
288
-
289
- ## Anti-Patterns
290
-
291
- **DO NOT:**
292
-
293
- - ❌ Write happy-path-only tests
294
- - ❌ Use brittle assertions that break on unrelated changes
295
- - ❌ Duplicate test logic instead of using utilities
296
- - ❌ Test implementation details instead of behavior
297
- - ❌ Write flaky tests that sometimes pass/fail
298
- - ❌ Skip error path testing
299
- - ❌ Use magic numbers without explanation
300
- - ❌ Write tests that depend on test execution order
301
-
302
- **ALWAYS:**
303
-
304
- - ✅ Test both success and failure paths
305
- - ✅ Use descriptive test names that explain the scenario
306
- - ✅ Make assertions specific and clear
307
- - ✅ Isolate tests from each other
308
- - ✅ Clean up test state after each test
309
- - ✅ Use factories/fixtures for test data
310
- - ✅ Run tests in non-interactive mode (`--run`, `CI=true`)
311
- - ✅ Verify tests fail for the right reason

226
+ ### Edge Case Coverage
227
+
228
+ Always test these categories:
229
+
230
+ ```typescript
231
+ describe('Edge Cases', () => {
232
+ // Boundary values
233
+ it('should handle empty input', () => { ... });
234
+ it('should handle single item', () => { ... });
235
+ it('should handle maximum items', () => { ... });
236
+
237
+ // Type edge cases
238
+ it('should handle null gracefully', () => { ... });
239
+ it('should handle undefined gracefully', () => { ... });
240
+
241
+ // Async edge cases
242
+ it('should handle timeout', async () => { ... });
243
+ it('should handle concurrent calls', async () => { ... });
244
+
245
+ // Error recovery
246
+ it('should recover from transient errors', async () => { ... });
247
+ it('should propagate permanent errors', async () => { ... });
248
+ });
249
+ ```markdown
250
+
251
+ ### Test File Structure
252
+
253
+ ```typescript
254
+ // file.test.ts
255
+ import { describe, it, expect, beforeEach, afterEach, vi } from 'vitest';
256
+ import { SystemUnderTest } from './file';
257
+
258
+ // Group by unit being tested
259
+ describe('SystemUnderTest', () => {
260
+ // Shared setup
261
+ let sut: SystemUnderTest;
262
+
263
+ beforeEach(() => {
264
+ sut = new SystemUnderTest();
265
+ });
266
+
267
+ afterEach(() => {
268
+ vi.clearAllMocks();
269
+ });
270
+
271
+ // Group by method/function
272
+ describe('methodName', () => {
273
+ // Happy path first
274
+ it('should return expected result for valid input', () => { ... });
275
+
276
+ // Error cases
277
+ describe('error handling', () => {
278
+ it('should throw when input is invalid', () => { ... });
279
+ });
280
+
281
+ // Edge cases
282
+ describe('edge cases', () => {
283
+ it('should handle empty input', () => { ... });
284
+ });
285
+ });
286
+ });
287
+ ```

+
289
+ ## Anti-Patterns
290
+
291
+ **DO NOT:**
292
+
293
+ - ❌ Write happy-path-only tests
294
+ - ❌ Use brittle assertions that break on unrelated changes
295
+ - ❌ Duplicate test logic instead of using utilities
296
+ - ❌ Test implementation details instead of behavior
297
+ - ❌ Write flaky tests that sometimes pass/fail
298
+ - ❌ Skip error path testing
299
+ - ❌ Use magic numbers without explanation
300
+ - ❌ Write tests that depend on test execution order
301
+
302
+ **ALWAYS:**
303
+
304
+ - ✅ Test both success and failure paths
305
+ - ✅ Use descriptive test names that explain the scenario
306
+ - ✅ Make assertions specific and clear
307
+ - ✅ Isolate tests from each other
308
+ - ✅ Clean up test state after each test
309
+ - ✅ Use factories/fixtures for test data
310
+ - ✅ Run tests in non-interactive mode (`--run`, `CI=true`)
311
+ - ✅ Verify tests fail for the right reason
