SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The backend unit testing skill helps teams write reliable, project-aligned Mocha/Chai/Sinon tests for SFRA backend code, covering mocks, proxyquire patterns, and test infrastructure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Prototyping, maintaining, and validating backend tests using the project's preferred patterns (proxyquire, mocks, and fixtures)
  • Reusing pre-built mocks to minimize boilerplate and ensure consistency across tests
  • Debugging Mocha test failures in backend/ with project-specific conventions

Quick Start

Install dependencies and run npm test from the backend folder to verify backend unit testing setup.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up Mocha and Chai unit tests for an SFRA backend project?

To set up Mocha and Chai unit tests for an SFRA backend project, you install dependencies and run npm test from the backend folder. This standardizes proxyquire usage and mock management for reliable test infrastructure.

What is the best way to manage mocks in SFCC backend unit testing?

The best way to manage mocks in SFCC backend unit testing is by reusing pre-built mocks to minimize boilerplate. This ensures consistency across tests and adheres to project-wide testing conventions for reliable results.

Can I use proxyquire with Sinon for SFRA backend test infrastructure?

Yes, you can use proxyquire with Sinon for SFRA backend test infrastructure. The skill standardizes proxyquire patterns and mock management, allowing you to prototype, maintain, and validate backend tests effectively.

Why does my Mocha test fail when debugging SFRA backend code?

Mocha tests fail in SFRA backend code often due to inconsistent mock setups or proxyquire patterns. Debugging these failures requires adhering to project-specific testing conventions and validating fixtures against expected test infrastructure.

Do I need Sinon to write unit tests for SFCC backend controllers?

Yes, Sinon is required to write unit tests for SFCC backend controllers. The skill uses Mocha, Chai, and Sinon to standardize mock management and proxyquire patterns, ensuring your tests remain consistent and repeatable.
