SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps Rust developers design, write, and maintain reliable tests without guessing which pattern fits a given problem. It reduces flaky coverage, unclear assertions, and ad hoc test structure by giving a practical testing workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unit Tests: Organize module-level tests, validate outputs, and cover error paths with clear assertions.
  • Integration Tests: Verify end-to-end crate behavior across public APIs and cross-module interactions.
  • Async, Property-Based, and Mocked Testing: Test Tokio workflows, explore input space with proptest, isolate dependencies with mockall, and measure confidence with coverage tooling.
  • Use Case: When a Rust service has parsing logic, async I/O, and external storage dependencies, this Skill helps you choose the right combination of tests to prove correctness before shipping.

Quick Start

Use this skill to identify the Rust code path you want to validate and then write the smallest failing test first, followed by the minimal implementation needed to make it pass.

FAQPage Schema
What is property-based testing in Rust and when should I use it?

Coverage-driven TDD in Rust involves writing the smallest failing test first, then implementing the minimal code to pass it. Measuring confidence with coverage tooling ensures your cargo test workflow achieves CI-ready validation without ad hoc structures.

How do I structure unit and integration tests for a Rust library API?

You organize Rust tests by separating unit tests within modules and integration tests in the tests directory to verify public APIs. Clear assertions and module-level validation ensure both internal logic and cross-module interactions are thoroughly checked.

How do I isolate external dependencies when testing Rust services?

You can isolate external dependencies in Rust tests using mockall to generate mock implementations of traits. This allows you to verify module interactions and error paths without relying on actual external storage or network services.

What is the best way to start coverage-driven TDD in Rust?

Coverage-driven TDD in Rust involves writing the smallest failing test first, then implementing the minimal code to pass it. Measuring confidence with coverage tooling ensures your cargo test workflow achieves CI-ready validation without ad hoc structures.
