BDD Test Runner & Compliance Validator

Executes GIVEN-WHEN-THEN tests with comprehensive compliance validation and coverage analysis for the Fakt compiler plugin.

Core Mission

This Skill enforces THE ABSOLUTE TESTING STANDARD: GIVEN-WHEN-THEN pattern with vanilla JUnit5 + kotlin-test, ensuring all tests follow project guidelines and Metro-inspired patterns.

Instructions

1. Understand Test Request

Extract from conversation:

•Test pattern to run (e.g., "Generic*", "Compiler*", "all")
•Scope (compiler tests, sample tests, integration tests)
•Validation requirements (naming compliance, coverage analysis)

Common requests:

•"Run all tests" → Execute full test suite
•"Run compiler tests" → Focus on compiler module
•"Validate test naming" → BDD compliance check only
•"Check coverage" → Coverage analysis

2. Pre-Execution BDD Compliance Check

Before running tests, validate BDD compliance:

bash

# Find all test files
find compiler/src/test/kotlin -name "*Test.kt"

# Check for GIVEN-WHEN-THEN pattern
grep -r "fun \`GIVEN" compiler/src/test/kotlin/

# Check for forbidden "should" pattern (MUST BE ZERO)
grep -r "fun \`should" compiler/src/test/kotlin/

Compliance checklist:

• All test methods use GIVEN-WHEN-THEN naming (uppercase)
• No "should" pattern found (forbidden in this project)
• All test classes have @TestInstance(TestInstance.Lifecycle.PER_CLASS)
• Using vanilla assertions (assertEquals, assertTrue, etc.)

If non-compliant tests found:

code

🚨 BDD COMPLIANCE VIOLATION DETECTED

❌ Found {count} tests using "should" pattern (forbidden)
📋 Tests must follow GIVEN-WHEN-THEN pattern

Files to fix:
- {list of non-compliant files}

📚 Reference: resources/testing-guidelines-reference.md

Do not proceed with execution until compliance is confirmed or user acknowledges violations.

3. Execute Tests

Determine test scope:

All tests:

bash

cd fakt && ./gradlew test

Compiler module only:

bash

cd fakt && ./gradlew :compiler:test

Pattern-based:

bash

cd fakt && ./gradlew :compiler:test --tests "*{Pattern}*"

# Examples:
./gradlew :compiler:test --tests "*Generic*"
./gradlew :compiler:test --tests "*GIVEN*WHEN*THEN*"
./gradlew :compiler:test --tests "*CompilerPluginRegistrar*"

Capture output:

•Total tests run
•Tests passed/failed/skipped
•Execution time
•Any warnings or errors

4. Analyze Results

Parse test output:

Success scenario:

code

✅ 53 tests passed (0 failed, 0 skipped)
⏱️ Execution time: 4.2s
📋 All tests follow GIVEN-WHEN-THEN pattern

Failure scenario:

code

❌ 3 tests failed (50 passed, 0 skipped)

Failed tests:
1. GIVEN interface with generics WHEN generating THEN should preserve types
   → Error: Type mismatch (Phase 2 limitation)

2. GIVEN complex interface WHEN generating THEN should compile
   → Error: Missing import for cross-module type

3. GIVEN async interface WHEN generating factory THEN should work
   → Error: Suspend function handling edge case

💡 Suggested actions:
- For generic issues: Consult generic-type-handling.md
- For compilation: Run /validate-compilation
- For async: Check suspend function patterns

5. Coverage Analysis

Compare actual vs claimed coverage:

bash

# Count total test files
find compiler/src/test/kotlin -name "*Test.kt" | wc -l

# Count GIVEN-WHEN-THEN tests
grep -r "fun \`GIVEN" compiler/src/test/kotlin/ | wc -l

# Identify coverage gaps
find compiler/src/main/kotlin -name "*.kt" | while read file; do
    testFile="${file/src\/main/src\/test}"
    testFile="${testFile/.kt/Test.kt}"
    if [ ! -f "$testFile" ]; then
        echo "Missing tests for: $file"
    fi
done

Coverage report format:

code

📊 TEST COVERAGE ANALYSIS

Total implementation files: {count}
Total test files: {count}
Coverage ratio: {percentage}%

GIVEN-WHEN-THEN tests: 53
Legacy tests (disabled): {count}
Coverage gaps identified: {count}

Missing coverage for:
- {list of files without tests}

📚 Reference: `.claude/docs/development/validation/testing-guidelines.md`

6. Metro Pattern Validation

Check if tests follow Metro testing approach:

Metro testing patterns:

•Compiler plugin tests in compiler/src/test/
•Compilation validation tests
•Generated code verification
•API compatibility tests

Validation:

bash

# Check for compilation tests
grep -r "compiles successfully" compiler/src/test/kotlin/

# Check for Metro-style context tests
grep -r "IrPluginContext" compiler/src/test/kotlin/

# Check for generated code validation
grep -r "build/generated" compiler/src/test/kotlin/

For detailed Metro patterns:

•Consult resources/metro-testing-patterns.md

7. Output Structured Report

Standard test execution report:

🧪 BDD TEST EXECUTION REPORT

📋 Compliance Status: ✅ PASSED
- GIVEN-WHEN-THEN naming: 53/53 tests ✅
- @TestInstance annotation: All classes ✅
- Vanilla assertions: No custom matchers ✅
- "should" pattern: 0 violations ✅

⚡ Execution Results:
- Total: 53 tests
- Passed: 53 ✅
- Failed: 0
- Skipped: 0
- Time: 4.2s

📊 Coverage: 85%
- Implementation files: 20
- Test files: 17
- Coverage gaps: 3 files

🏆 Metro Alignment: ✅
- Compiler plugin tests: Present
- Compilation validation: Present
- Generated code tests: Present

📁 Test output: build/test-results/

8. Suggest Follow-Up Actions

Based on test results:

If tests fail:

•Analyze errors and suggest relevant Skills
•For generic issues → generic-scoping-analyzer
•For compilation → compilation-validator
•For IR issues → kotlin-ir-debugger

If coverage gaps:

•Suggest files needing tests
•Offer to generate tests with behavior-analyzer-tester

If compliance violations:

•List non-compliant tests
•Suggest fixing patterns
•Reference testing guidelines

9. Update Test Status Tracking

If user requests, update status files:

bash

# Update test metrics in current-status.md (optional)
# Test status tracking can be done via test output or CI
# No need to maintain separate test-status.md file

Test Execution Patterns

Quick Test Run

code

User: "Run all tests"
→ Execute: ./gradlew test
→ Report: Pass/fail summary

Compliance Check Only

code

User: "Validate test naming"
→ Skip execution
→ Check: GIVEN-WHEN-THEN compliance
→ Report: Violations if any

Pattern-Based Testing

code

User: "Run generic tests"
→ Execute: ./gradlew test --tests "*Generic*"
→ Report: Subset results

Full Analysis

code

User: "Run tests and check coverage"
→ Execute: ./gradlew test
→ Analyze: Coverage gaps
→ Report: Comprehensive analysis
