Apply when you write, change, or keep a test. Assert what the code's users can observe, so that the test fails when that behavior breaks and keeps passing when only the internals change.
MUST USE for C#/.NET deterministic tests that require the smallest production seam for DateTime/Task.Delay/File/Environment/Guid/Random, static API preservation, nested/parallel overrides, or no real I/O. USE ONLY when the target workspace contains C# source plus a .csproj or .sln. DO NOT USE for audits, bulk migration, code that already has an injectable seam, or an explicit migration to a user-named existing abstraction (migrate-static-to-wrapper). Use instead of general test generation when t
Use this skill before answering or editing whenever an MSTest v1/v2 project is being upgraded or repaired for v3. Triggers include QualityTools assembly references; MSTest.TestFramework/TestAdapter 1.x-2.x; "upgrade to MSTest v3"; comparing v1 and v2 migration paths; choosing MSTest or MSTest.Sdk; CS0411/CS1503 after a v3 package bump; DataRow type mismatch, MSTEST0014, or "Test data doesn't match method parameters"; .testsettings/LegacySettings to .runsettings; timeout changes; and net5.0 or ot
ALWAYS USE when asked to fix, rewrite, update, improve, modernize, show corrected code for, or explain existing MSTest tests or MSTest-specific configuration. Use for "review" when corrected code or edits are wanted, even for one pasted assertion or passing tests with bad failure output. Covers expected/actual labels; generic Boolean, collection, string, numeric, null, identity, exception, hard-cast, and object[] checks; TestContext/lifecycle; timeout/cancellation; OS/CI conditions, retry, clean
Provides patterns for unit testing Spring application events. Validates event publishing with ApplicationEventPublisher, tests @EventListener annotation behavior, and verifies async event handling. Use when writing tests for event listeners, mocking application events, or verifying events were published in your Spring Boot services.
Provides patterns for unit testing `@ConfigurationProperties` classes with `@ConfigurationPropertiesTest`. Validates property binding, tests validation constraints, verifies default values, checks type conversions, and mocks property sources for Spring Boot configuration properties. Use when testing application configuration binding, validating YAML or application.properties files, verifying environment-specific settings, or testing nested property structures.
Provides patterns for unit testing Spring Cache annotations (@Cacheable, @CachePut, @CacheEvict). Generates test code that mocks cache managers, verifies cache hit/miss behavior, tests cache key generation with SpEL expressions, validates eviction strategies, and checks conditional caching scenarios. Triggers: caching tests, test Spring cache, mock cache, Spring Boot caching, cache hit/miss verification, @Cacheable testing.
Provides patterns for unit testing mappers, converters, and bean mappings. Validates entity-to-DTO and model transformation logic in isolation. Generates executable mapping tests with MapStruct and custom converter test coverage. Use when writing mapping tests, converter tests, entity mapping tests, or ensuring correct data transformation between DTOs and domain objects.
Provides patterns for unit testing REST controllers using MockMvc and @WebMvcTest. Generates controller tests that validates request/response mapping, validation, exception handling, and HTTP status codes. Use when testing web layer endpoints in isolation for API endpoint testing, Spring MVC tests, mock HTTP requests, or controller layer unit tests.
Provides parameterized testing patterns with JUnit 5, generates data-driven unit tests using @ParameterizedTest, @ValueSource, @CsvSource, @MethodSource. Creates tests that run the same logic with multiple input values. Use when writing data-driven Java tests, multiple test cases from single method, or boundary value analysis.
Provides patterns for unit testing service layer with Mockito. Creates isolated tests that mock repository calls, verify method invocations, test exception scenarios, and stub external API responses. Use when testing service behaviors and business logic without database or external services.
Provides edge case, corner case, boundary condition, and limit testing patterns for Java unit tests. Validates minimum/maximum values, null cases, empty collections, numeric overflow/underflow, floating-point precision, and off-by-one scenarios using JUnit 5 and AssertJ. Use when writing .java test files to ensure code handles limits, corner cases, and special inputs correctly.
