SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Building robust test suites for iOS/macOS apps can be time-consuming and brittle, especially when integrating TDD, characterization tests, and contract-based testing with evolving codebases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Consolidates TDD workflows, characterization tests, snapshot tests, and contract testing into a unified approach.
  • Provides templates, guidance, and infrastructure patterns (factories, mocks, scaffolds) to accelerate safe AI-assisted development.
  • Useful for refactoring guardrails, bug fixes, and feature development across legacy and new codebases.

Quick Start

Use this skill to guide AI-driven testing by selecting a target module and specifying whether you want characterization tests, contract tests, or full test scaffolding.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up TDD workflows and test scaffolding for iOS apps?

Set up TDD workflows and test scaffolding for iOS apps by generating test data factories, mocks, and integration scaffolds. This approach provides repeatable testing strategies and clear guardrails to ensure safe AI-assisted development across new and legacy codebases.

What is characterization testing and when do I need it for legacy codebases?

Characterization testing captures the current behavior of legacy codebases to establish a safety net before refactoring. You need it when modifying legacy code without existing tests, locking down current functionality to prevent regressions during AI-assisted development.

Can I generate contract tests and snapshot tests for macOS applications?

Yes, you can generate contract tests and snapshot tests for macOS applications. The skill consolidates these testing patterns into a unified approach, providing templates and infrastructure patterns to accelerate safe AI-assisted development across evolving codebases.

What's the best way to create test data factories and mocks for refactoring guardrails?

Create test data factories and mocks for refactoring guardrails by using unified scaffolding templates that define clear test suites and workflows. This establishes repeatable testing strategies, ensuring safe AI-assisted development and robust refactoring across iOS and macOS apps.

Does AI-assisted testing work with both new code and legacy codebases?

Yes, AI-assisted testing works with both new code and legacy codebases. The skill applies testing workflows, patterns, and scaffolding across both contexts, providing guardrails for feature development, bug fixes, and refactoring to ensure safe AI-assisted development.
