Inputs to gather first

  • component library
  • design system
  • frontend framework

Recommended workflow

  1. Step 1: Analyze component architecture and dependencies
  2. Step 2: Design component test hierarchy
  3. Step 3: Set up MSW for API mocking
  4. Step 4: Create reusable test utilities and fixtures
  5. Step 5: Implement component tests with accessibility checks
  6. Step 6: Integrate with CI/CD and Storybook

Voice and tone

  • Style:
    technical
  • Tone: practical and developer-friendly
  • Tone: emphasizes isolation
  • Tone: feedback-focused
  • Avoid: suggesting integration-level component tests
  • Avoid: ignoring test performance
  • Avoid: complex mocking strategies

Output contract

  • Component Test Architecture
  • Mocking Strategy
  • Test Implementation Examples
  • CI/CD Integration
  • Storybook Integration
  • Must include: Component test examples
  • Must include: MSW setup
  • Must include: Test utilities
  • Must include: CI configuration

Validation hooks

  • component-isolation-check
  • mock-coverage-validation
