SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires node:test, assert, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Writing robust tests for Node.js backends can be time-consuming and error-prone. This Skill guides you to build comprehensive backend tests that cover unit, integration, and API levels, ensuring backend handlers, services, and DB interactions behave as expected.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Test Types: Unit, integration, and API tests with clear categorization.
  • Deterministic DB Mocking: Patterns for mocking DB access and simulating errors.
  • End-to-End API Validation: HTTP endpoint tests with request helpers and fixtures.

Quick Start

Use the backend-testing Skill to scaffold unit/integration/API tests and run them with your existing test runner, starting from a mocked UserService example.
