Testing Test Writing
This Skill provides Claude Code with specific guidance on how to adhere to coding standards as they relate to how it should handle testing test writing.
When to use this skill
- •When writing minimal tests during development (not every change or intermediate step)
- •When testing only core user flows and critical business paths
- •When deferring edge case testing unless business-critical
- •When testing behavior rather than implementation details
- •When writing descriptive test names that explain expected outcomes
- •When mocking external dependencies (databases, APIs, file systems)
- •When keeping unit tests fast (milliseconds) for frequent developer execution
- •When deciding what level of testing is required for feature completion
- •When establishing test coverage strategies for the project
