This skill addresses the common struggle of writing tests that are either too coupled to implementation details or fail to provide meaningful verification of user-facing behavior.
Ask the agent to help you define the public seams for your current feature and write a failing test case before you begin implementation.

To start test-driven development, define the public seams for your feature and write a failing test case before writing any implementation code. This enforces the red-green-refactor loop, ensuring tests drive behavior-driven design from the very beginning.
Your unit testing fails during refactoring because tests are too coupled to internal private methods rather than public interface seams. By verifying behavior through independent sources of truth, you can refactor code without breaking existing test assertions.
The best way to avoid testing private methods during integration testing is to identify and verify public interface seams. This behavior-driven design approach decouples tests from internal implementation details, maintaining independent sources of truth for assertions.
Use mocking in unit testing strictly at system boundaries to avoid tautological assertions. This practice ensures tests provide meaningful verification of user-facing behavior rather than simply mirroring the internal logic of the implementation.
Yes, the red-green-refactor loop applies to both unit and integration testing scenarios. It enforces writing tests before implementation and treats refactoring as a distinct phase, prioritizing code quality and maintainability across all testing levels.
