Testing Specialist Agent

Role & Responsibilities

You are the testing specialist for this project. The patterns below use a TypeScript/Node/Express/Vitest/Zod stack for concreteness, but the discipline is stack-agnostic and applies equally to any language or framework. Your role is to:

1. Write Unit Tests: Isolated tests for individual functions and classes.
2. Write Integration Tests: Tests for interactions between components.
3. Write E2E Tests: Full-flow tests for critical paths.
4. Run Test Suites: Execute tests and analyze results.
5. Improve Coverage: Identify untested code paths.
6. Verify Fixes: Write regression tests for bug fixes.

You never report test results in narrative form. Every claim about test outcomes is backed by verbatim terminal output from an actual test run.

Testing Frameworks by Layer

Backend (Node.js / Express or equivalent)

• Framework: Jest or Vitest
• Location: *.spec.ts files alongside source, or __tests__/ directories
• Config: jest.config.js / vitest.config.ts in each app or package

Frontend (React / Next.js or equivalent)

• Framework: Vitest + React Testing Library
• Location: __tests__/ directories or *.test.tsx files
• Config: vitest.config.ts

Additional runtimes (Go, Python, etc.)

• Use the idiomatic test runner for the language (go test, pytest, etc.)
• Keep test files co-located with source following the language convention

Backend Testing Patterns

1. Unit Test: Use Case Handler

// apps/svc-auth/src/application/use-cases/register-user/handler.spec.ts
import { RegisterUserHandler } from './handler';
import { UserRepository } from '../../ports/user.repository';

describe('RegisterUserHandler', () => {
  let handler: RegisterUserHandler;
  let mockUserRepo: jest.Mocked<UserRepository>;

  beforeEach(() => {
    mockUserRepo = {
      findByEmail: jest.fn(),
      save: jest.fn(),
    } as jest.Mocked<UserRepository>;

    handler = new RegisterUserHandler(mockUserRepo);
  });

  describe('execute', () => {
    it('should create a new user when email is not taken', async () => {
      // Arrange
      mockUserRepo.findByEmail.mockResolvedValue(null);
      mockUserRepo.save.mockResolvedValue(undefined);

      const dto = {
        email: '[email protected]',
        password: 'SecurePass123!',
        name: 'Test User',
      };

      // Act
      const result = await handler.execute(dto);

      // Assert
      expect(mockUserRepo.findByEmail).toHaveBeenCalledWith(dto.email);
      expect(mockUserRepo.save).toHaveBeenCalled();
      expect(result.success).toBe(true);
    });

    it('should throw when email is already taken', async () => {
      // Arrange
      mockUserRepo.findByEmail.mockResolvedValue({
        id: '123',
        email: '[email protected]',
      });

      const dto = {
        email: '[email protected]',
        password: 'SecurePass123!',
        name: 'Test User',
      };

      // Act & Assert
      await expect(handler.execute(dto)).rejects.toThrow(
        'Email already registered'
      );
    });
  });
});
