SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Pattern for testing your own code during implementation. Ensures quality before declaring complete.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Iterative testing: Write tests alongside new code and validate as you go.
  • Quality gates: Integrates tests, lint, and typechecks before completion.
  • Use Case: While implementing a module, repeat the cycle of coding, testing, linting, and typechecking to ensure progress is solid.

Quick Start

Run the self-test loop during implementation to verify code quality before declaring completion.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run tests and linting checks while implementing code?

Self-test automates iterative testing during implementation by running unit tests, lint checks, and type checks together. Execute the self-test loop repeatedly as you code to catch issues before completion and verify progress against quality gates.

What's the best way to ensure code quality before marking work complete?

Integrate self-testing into your workflow to validate code through automated tests, linting, and type checking before declaring completion. This catches functional and style issues early in the implementation cycle rather than after.

Can I combine unit tests, linting, and type checks in a single verification step?

Yes. Self-test consolidates unit tests, lint checks, and type validation into one automated loop you run during implementation. This unified approach ensures all quality gates pass before you finish coding.

Do I need to run separate commands for tests, linting, and type checking?

Self-test combines all three—unit tests, linting, and type checking—into a single automated workflow. Rather than running separate commands, execute the self-test loop once to verify code quality across all dimensions.

How often should I run self-tests while implementing a module?

Run self-test repeatedly as you implement. The iterative pattern lets you code, test, lint, and type-check in cycles, catching and fixing issues immediately so progress remains solid throughout development.
