• Configure coverage thresholds
• Identify uncovered code paths

React Integration

• Integration with React Testing Library
• Component testing patterns
• Hook testing utilities

Target Processes

• automation-framework.js

  - Test framework setup

• mutation-testing.js

  - Test quality assessment

• continuous-testing.js

  - CI/CD integration

• shift-left-testing.js

  - Early testing integration

Dependencies

Usage Example

{
  kind: 'skill',
  skill: {
    name: 'jest-testing',
    context: {
      action: 'execute-tests',
      testPath: 'src/**/*.test.ts',
      coverage: true,
      coverageThreshold: {
        global: { branches: 80, functions: 80, lines: 80 }
      }
    }
  }
}

Configuration

The skill respects

jest.config.js

or

jest.config.ts

in the project root and can override settings as needed.
