SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Kotlin projects often struggle with establishing reliable testing practices. This Skill provides structured patterns, examples, and workflows using Kotest, MockK, and TDD to ensure maintainable, high-quality code.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pattern-rich testing templates using Kotest specs (StringSpec, FunSpec, BehaviorSpec, DescribeSpec)
  • Mocking and coroutine testing using MockK for suspend functions
  • Guidance on TDD workflow, coverage strategies with Kover, and property-based testing
  • Real-world examples illustrating how to structure tests and verify behavior

Quick Start

Run a Kotest-based test suite following the TDD workflow to validate Kotlin code.

Frequently Asked Questions about kotlin-testing

FAQPage Schema
How do I test Kotlin suspend functions with MockK?▼

To test Kotlin suspend functions with MockK, you use structured testing patterns to mock coroutine behaviors and verify asynchronous code execution. The Skill demonstrates specific Kotest setups for mocking suspending functions and validating asynchronous logic.

What is the best way to structure TDD workflows in Kotlin?▼

The best way to structure TDD workflows in Kotlin is by using Kotest specs like StringSpec or BehaviorSpec. This Skill provides pattern-rich templates to guide test-driven development, ensuring maintainable and high-quality code through structured verification.

Does this Kotlin testing guidance cover property-based testing?▼

Yes, this Kotlin testing guidance covers property-based testing. It includes strategies and examples for implementing property-based tests alongside standard unit and integration testing workflows using Kotest.

How do I measure code coverage when using Kotest?▼

You measure code coverage when using Kotest by integrating Kover. The Skill outlines how to configure Kover for coverage strategies, allowing you to track verification metrics across your TDD workflows and Kotlin projects.

Can I use BehaviorSpec and DescribeSpec for integration testing?▼

Yes, you can use BehaviorSpec and DescribeSpec for integration testing. The Skill provides real-world examples illustrating how to structure both unit and integration tests using various Kotest spec styles to verify behavior effectively.
