Test Generation
Overview
Generate tests systematically by analyzing code paths, covering edge cases, and validating coverage targets.
When to Use
- Creating tests for new features
- Improving coverage in weak areas
- Building regression or integration test suites
Avoid when:
- The task is only running existing tests (use dev-workflows)
Quick Reference
| Task | Load reference |
|---|---|
| Test generation workflow | skills/test-generation/references/generate-tests.md |
Workflow
- Identify target scope and test type.
- Load the test generation reference.
- Analyze code paths and edge cases.
- Generate tests and validate coverage.
- Summarize results and gaps.
Output
- Generated tests
- Coverage report and follow-ups
Common Mistakes
- Writing tests without understanding code paths
- Ignoring edge cases or failure modes
Recommended Agent Skills

claude-consult
Consult Claude specialist agents during implementation for codebase understanding, pattern checking, security review, debugging help, and more. Use this skill whenever you're unsure about conventions, stuck on a failure, or need expert input before writing code. Does not replace the formal review gates in agent-loops — this is for mid-implementation consultation.
doc-quality-review
Assess documentation quality across readability, consistency, audience fit, and prose clarity. Produces a scored review with actionable findings. This skill should be used before releases, during doc reviews, or when documentation feels unclear or inconsistent.
event-driven-architecture
Event-driven architecture patterns with event sourcing, CQRS, and message-driven communication. Use when designing distributed systems, microservices communication, or systems requiring eventual consistency and scalability.
prompt-engineering
Optimize prompts for LLMs and AI systems with structured techniques, evaluation patterns, and synthetic test data generation. Use when building AI features, improving agent performance, or crafting system prompts.
compliance-audit
Regulatory compliance auditing across GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, and ISO frameworks with automated evidence collection and gap analysis. Use when conducting compliance assessments, preparing for certifications, or implementing regulatory controls.
react-performance-optimization
React performance optimization patterns using memoization, code splitting, and efficient rendering strategies. Use when optimizing slow React applications, reducing bundle size, or improving user experience with large datasets.
