SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill streamlines the creation of standardized Catch2 unit tests, aligning with ORE Studio conventions to reduce manual boilerplate and ensure consistency across projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Template-based test scaffolding: Generates domain, repository, and service level test files following established patterns.
  • Consistent style and headers: Produces structured test cases with logging and assertions suitable for Catch2.
  • Use Case: When adding a new component, quickly generate a complete test suite ready for customization.

Quick Start

Use the unit-test-writer skill to generate a basic Catch2 test scaffold for your COMPONENT and LAYER, then edit the resulting tests to fit your entity.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate Catch2 unit tests for C++ components?

Catch2 unit test generation for C++ components automates the creation of test skeletons for domain, repository, and service layers. It outputs ready-to-customize test files with standardized assertions that compile directly with your project's Catch2 setup.

What is the best way to reduce boilerplate when writing C++ Catch2 tests?

The best way to reduce Catch2 boilerplate is template-based scaffolding that produces structured test cases with consistent logging and assertions. This ensures style consistency across projects and eliminates manual boilerplate coding for new components.

Can I generate test scaffolds for different architectural layers in C++?

Yes, you can generate test scaffolds for different C++ architectural layers including domain, repository, and service levels. The generation process creates layer-specific test files following established patterns to ensure comprehensive component coverage.

Do I need to manually configure Catch2 headers when generating test files?

No, manual Catch2 header configuration is unnecessary when generating test files. The generated output includes appropriate structured headers and logging suitable for Catch2, aligning with repository conventions out of the box.

Why should I use a standardized generator for C++ Catch2 tests?

Using a standardized generator for C++ Catch2 tests ensures consistency across projects and streamlines test suite creation. It allows developers to quickly generate complete test setups ready for customization when adding new components.
