SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Traditional development often proceeds without guaranteed test coverage, leading to regression risk and fragile code. This skill enforces Test-Driven Development practices to ensure requirements are validated by tests before implementation, promoting maintainable, reliable software.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Test-first workflow: Write tests before code to guide design and prevent regressions.
  • Multi-level coverage: Emphasizes unit, integration, and end-to-end tests with measurable thresholds.
  • Refactor confidence: Supports safe refactoring by maintaining green test suites and clear ownership.

Quick Start

Describe a feature as a user journey, write failing tests first, then implement code until all tests pass.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce test-driven development practices for new software features?▼

Test-driven development is enforced by writing failing tests before implementation, ensuring requirements are validated and preventing regressions throughout the development workflow.

What's the best way to structure unit, integration, and e2e testing coverage goals?▼

Multi-level coverage is structured by defining measurable thresholds across unit, integration, and end-to-end tests, ensuring safe refactoring and reliable software maintainability.

Does this test-first workflow integrate with Playwright and Jest or Vitest?▼

Yes, the test-first workflow integrates with common tooling such as Playwright and Jest or Vitest, guiding step-by-step testing workflows and maintaining green suites during refactoring.

How do I write tests first when describing a feature as a user journey?▼

Describe the feature as a user journey, write failing tests first to define requirements, and then implement code step-by-step until all unit and integration tests pass.

When do I need test-driven development for refactoring existing code?▼

Test-driven development is needed when refactoring existing code to maintain green test suites, provide clear ownership, and guarantee changes do not introduce regression risks.
