SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Writing unit tests often becomes slow and inconsistent because every test file repeats setup, teardown, and assertion boilerplate instead of focusing on behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Engine- and framework-specific helpers: Generates a tailored tests/helpers/ library based on the configured engine, language, and testing framework.
  • Pattern-aware generation: Reads existing test files to mirror the repository’s established style for fixtures, assertions, object creation, and mocks.
  • Reusable factories and assertions: Produces base helper utilities plus optional system-specific helper factories to reduce repetition across new tests.

Quick Start

Run /test-helpers scaffold if no helpers exist yet, otherwise run /test-helpers all to generate the full tests/helpers/ library for all systems.

FAQPage Schema
How do I reduce boilerplate in unit tests and stop repeating setup code?

To reduce boilerplate in unit tests, generate engine-specific test helper libraries that consolidate duplicated setup, teardown, and assertion patterns into reusable factory functions under tests/helpers/.

How do I generate test helpers that match my existing test framework style?

You can generate test helpers that match your style by scanning existing test files to mirror established patterns for fixtures, assertions, object creation, and mocks before writing new helper files.

Can I scaffold test helpers for a specific system instead of the entire project?

Yes, you can scaffold test helpers for either all systems or a specific system, producing base helper utilities alongside optional system-specific helper factories to reduce repetition across new tests.

Does test helper generation overwrite existing files in the tests/helpers/ directory?

Test helper generation writes new helper files under tests/helpers/ without overwriting existing ones, ensuring your current test scaffolding and custom assertions remain intact during pattern-aware generation.

What is the best way to create mock objects and factory functions for game development testing?

The best way to create mock objects and factory functions for game development is generating an engine-specific test helper library that reads configured engine preferences and produces engine-ready assertions.

What do I need to configure before scaffolding a test helper library?

Before scaffolding a test helper library, you need configured engine, language, and testing framework preferences so the generated helpers align with your project's specific testing environment and style.
