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 creating new test files in tests/Feature/ or tests/Unit/ directories
• When writing Pest tests with descriptive, clear test names
• When testing core user workflows and critical business paths
• When deciding what needs test coverage at feature completion points
• When mocking external dependencies (databases, APIs, file systems, services)
• When writing fast-executing unit tests
• When focusing tests on behavior and outcomes rather than implementation details
• When using Pest datasets to handle multiple test scenarios efficiently
• When testing validation rules, business logic, or API endpoints
• When implementing integration tests for critical features
• When running tests before committing code changes
• When skipping tests for non-critical utilities or edge cases (until explicitly required)
