TDD Guide

Test-driven development skill for generating tests, analyzing coverage, and guiding red-green-refactor workflows across Jest, Pytest, JUnit, and Vitest.

Table of Contents


Capabilities

CapabilityDescription
Test GenerationConvert requirements or code into test cases with proper structure
Coverage AnalysisParse LCOV/JSON/XML reports, identify gaps, prioritize fixes
TDD WorkflowGuide red-green-refactor cycles with validation
Framework AdaptersGenerate tests for Jest, Pytest, JUnit, Vitest, Mocha
Quality ScoringAssess test isolation, assertions, naming, detect test smells
Fixture GenerationCreate realistic test data, mocks, and factories

Workflows

Generate Tests from Code

  1. Provide source code (TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java)
  2. Specify target framework (Jest, Pytest, JUnit, Vitest)
  3. Run
    test_generator.py
    with requirements
  4. Review generated test stubs
  5. Validation: Tests compile and cover happy path, error cases, edge cases

Analyze Coverage Gaps

  1. Generate coverage report from test runner (
    npm test -- --coverage
    )
  2. Run
    coverage_analyzer.py
    on LCOV/JSON/XML report
  3. Review prioritized gaps (P0/P1/P2)
  4. Generate missing tests for uncovered paths
  5. Validation: Coverage meets target threshold (typically 80%+)

TDD New Feature

  1. Write failing test first (RED)
  2. Run
    tdd_workflow.py --phase red
    to validate
  3. Implement minimal code to pass (GREEN)
  4. Run
    tdd_workflow.py --phase green
    to validate
  5. Refactor while keeping tests green (REFACTOR)
  6. Validation: All tests pass after each cycle

Input Requirements

For Test Generation:

  • Source code (file path or pasted content)
  • Target framework (Jest, Pytest, JUnit, Vitest)
  • Coverage scope (unit, integration, edge cases)

For Coverage Analysis:

  • Coverage report file (LCOV, JSON, or XML format)
  • Optional: Source code for context
  • Optional: Target threshold percentage

For TDD Workflow:

  • Feature requirements or user story
  • Current phase (RED, GREEN, REFACTOR)
  • Test code and implementation status

Limitations

ScopeDetails
Unit test focusIntegration and E2E tests require different patterns
Static analysisCannot execute tests or measure runtime behavior
Language supportBest for TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java
Report formatsLCOV, JSON, XML only; other formats need conversion
Generated testsProvide scaffolding; require human review for complex logic

When to use other tools:

  • E2E testing: Playwright, Cypress, Selenium
  • Performance testing: k6, JMeter, Locust
  • Security testing: OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite
