clean-code-ch09-unit-tests

Clean unit tests follow the BUILD-OPERATE-CHECK pattern, use a domain-specific testing language to hide implementation details, and verify a single concept per test. This Skill analyzes test code to enforce these readability and structure principles.

To check if your test suite follows TDD laws, analyze your test code against the First, Second, and Third laws of TDD. This Skill evaluates your suite to ensure test discipline and adherence to these foundational testing principles.

Yes, this unit test analyzer works with integration test suites across multiple programming languages. It evaluates test structure, readability, and the BUILD-OPERATE-CHECK pattern regardless of the specific language used.

To apply the BUILD-OPERATE-CHECK pattern, structure tests by building data, operating on it, and checking results. This Skill guides you in adopting this pattern and using fluent test APIs to improve overall test maintainability.

The FIRST principles require tests to be FAST, INDEPENDENT, REPEATABLE, SELF-VALIDATING, and TIMELY. You can enforce them by providing optional configuration to tailor checks for these principles when analyzing your codebase.

You should refactor your test suite for a domain-specific testing language when implementation details clutter test logic. This Skill helps identify these issues, promoting fluent test APIs and helper methods to hide complexity.
