SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the creation of boilerplate test files for modules that lack corresponding test coverage, helping to improve overall code quality and maintainability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Test Stub Generation: Detects the project's test framework and generates basic test structures for identified untested modules.
  • Pattern Matching: Adheres to existing project conventions for test file naming and structure.
  • Use Case: After adding new features, quickly scaffold tests for all new modules to ensure a baseline level of test coverage is established.

Quick Start

Use the test-scaffold skill to generate test files for the 'utils' directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate missing test files for untested code modules?

To generate missing test files, use a scaffolding tool that detects your project's test framework and automatically creates test stubs for untested modules, adhering to existing test patterns and naming conventions to improve coverage.

What is automated test scaffolding and how does it match existing project conventions?

Automated test scaffolding identifies source files lacking tests and generates boilerplate test structures. It matches existing project conventions by detecting the active test framework and replicating established file naming and structural patterns.

Can I scaffold tests for a specific directory like utils?

Yes, you can scaffold tests for a specific directory like utils. The process scans the target directory using glob and grep to locate source files, identifies modules without corresponding tests, and generates new test stubs accordingly.

Does test scaffolding work with any test framework?

Test scaffolding works by detecting the specific test framework already configured in your project. It adapts to your current environment to ensure the generated test stubs align with the framework's syntax and conventions.

What's the best way to establish a baseline of test coverage after adding new features?

The best way to establish baseline test coverage after adding new features is to run an automated test generation process that scans for new modules and quickly scaffolds basic test files for all identified untested code.
