Generate Test Cases

Generate comprehensive test cases automatically

Instructions

1. Target Analysis and Scope Definition

   • Parse target file or function from arguments: $ARGUMENTS
   • If no target specified, analyze current directory and prompt for specific target
   • Examine the target code structure, dependencies, and complexity
   • Identify function signatures, parameters, return types, and side effects
   • Determine testing scope (unit, integration, or both)

2. Code Structure Analysis

   • Analyze function logic, branching, and control flow
   • Identify input validation, error handling, and edge cases
   • Examine external dependencies, API calls, and database interactions
   • Review data transformations and business logic
   • Identify async operations and error scenarios

3. Test Case Generation Strategy

   • Generate positive test cases for normal operation flows
   • Create negative test cases for error conditions and invalid inputs
   • Generate edge cases for boundary conditions and limits
   • Create integration test cases for external dependencies
   • Generate performance test cases for complex operations

4. Unit Test Implementation

   • Create test file following project naming conventions
   • Set up test framework imports and configuration
   • Generate test suites organized by functionality
   • Create comprehensive test cases with descriptive names
   • Implement proper setup and teardown for each test

5. Mock and Stub Generation

   • Identify external dependencies requiring mocking
   • Generate mock implementations for APIs and services
   • Create stub data for database and file system operations
   • Set up spy functions for monitoring function calls
   • Configure mock return values and error scenarios

6. Data-Driven Test Generation

   • Create test data sets for various input scenarios
   • Generate parameterized tests for multiple input combinations
   • Create fixtures for complex data structures
   • Set up test data factories for consistent data generation
   • Generate property-based test cases for comprehensive coverage

7. Integration Test Scenarios

   • Generate tests for component interactions
   • Create end-to-end workflow test cases
   • Generate API integration test scenarios
   • Create database integration tests with real data
   • Generate cross-module integration test cases

8. Error Handling and Exception Testing

   • Generate tests for all error conditions and exceptions
   • Create tests for timeout and network failure scenarios
   • Generate tests for invalid input validation
   • Create tests for resource exhaustion and limits
   • Generate tests for concurrent access and race conditions

9. Test Quality and Coverage

   • Ensure comprehensive code coverage for target functions
   • Generate tests for all code branches and paths
   • Create tests for both success and failure scenarios
   • Validate test assertions are meaningful and specific
   • Ensure tests are isolated and independent

10. Test Documentation and Maintenance

    • Generate clear test descriptions and documentation
    • Create comments explaining complex test scenarios
    • Document test data requirements and setup procedures
    • Generate test maintenance guidelines and best practices
    • Create test execution and debugging instructions
    • Validate generated tests execute successfully and provide meaningful feedback
