SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables teams to generate comprehensive test suites directly from a feature's technical design, removing the guesswork and rework associated with test-first development.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Query Feature Board and read technical design to extract testable components and acceptance criteria.
  • Generate unit, integration, and API tests that cover happy paths, edge cases, and error conditions.
  • Verify all tests fail initially to establish a true TDD baseline, then guide implementation.

Quick Start

Use after a Technical Design is published for a feature. Provide input with the feature_id, technical_design_link, and specification_link. The skill will create a tests/ directory with the created tests and a baseline status.

Frequently Asked Questions about x-ipe-task-based-test-generation

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate unit and integration tests from a technical design document?▼

The skill applies Test-Driven Development by generating unit, integration, and API tests from the technical design before any application code is written. It establishes a true TDD baseline by verifying that all initially generated tests fail.

Can I generate API tests from a feature board before writing application code?▼

Yes, the skill queries the feature board and reads the technical design to extract testable components and acceptance criteria. It then generates API tests covering happy paths, edge cases, and error conditions directly from these inputs.

What do I need to provide to automate TDD test generation for a new feature?▼

You need to provide the feature_id, technical_design_link, and specification_link. The process also requires access to architecture pattern references and templates from references/test-patterns.md to generate the test suites correctly.

How does test generation validate a true TDD baseline?▼

Test generation validates a TDD baseline by running the newly created unit, integration, and API tests to verify they all fail initially. This confirms the tests reference unimplemented code, establishing a true test-first baseline.

What types of test coverage are included when generating tests from specifications?▼

Generating tests from specifications produces comprehensive coverage for happy paths, edge cases, and error conditions. The output includes unit, integration, and API tests structured within a dedicated tests directory.
