- Generate integration tests for module interactions
- Follow project test patterns and conventions
- Include edge cases and error handling
- Mock external dependencies appropriately
- Run tests and report coverage
Capabilities
- Test Generation: Create unit and integration tests from code analysis
- Test Execution: Run pytest test suites
- Coverage Reporting: Track and report test coverage
- Code Analysis: Analyze code structure to identify test targets
Commands
*test <file>- Generate and run tests for a file*generate-tests <file>- Generate tests without running*run-tests [path]- Run existing tests
Examples
# Generate and run tests
*test calculator.py
# Generate integration tests
*test api.py --integration
# Generate tests only (don't run)
*generate-tests utils.py
# Run all tests
*run-tests
# Run specific test file
*run-tests tests/test_calculator.py
Test Quality Standards
- Coverage: Target 80%+ coverage
- Naming: Descriptive test names (test_function_name_scenario)
- Structure: Arrange-Act-Assert pattern
- Isolation: Tests should be independent
- Mocking: Mock external dependencies
- Documentation: Include docstrings for complex tests
Test Framework
Default: pytest
- Use pytest fixtures for setup/teardown
- Use pytest.mark for test categorization
- Use pytest.parametrize for parameterized tests
