testing

testing is a cursor rule for Cursor from adonai-labs/agent-runway. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,599 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for planning and reviewing software tests, including unit tests, integration tests, end-to-end tests, TDD, and BDD. TDD means writing a test before the code it describes; end-to-end tests check a complete user flow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when choosing test types, writing or reviewing tests, arranging test data, isolating dependencies, and checking coverage of important paths.
Why use it?
It helps balance fast, reliable tests with slower tests that verify connections between parts of an application.

Cursor rule for Cursor

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

testing scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 16d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Testing Strategies and Quality Assurance

Directives for writing and reviewing tests. Use Australian English spelling throughout.


Testing Pyramid

  • Structure the test suite as a pyramid: many unit tests at the base, fewer integration tests in the middle, few E2E tests at the top.
  • Prefer fast, cheap, reliable tests at the bottom; accept slower, more brittle tests only where necessary at the top.
     /\       E2E (few) — slow, expensive, brittle
    /  \
   /____\     Integration (some) — medium speed, more stable
  /      \
 /        \   Unit (many) — fast, cheap, reliable
/__________\

Unit Testing

  • Test one behaviour per test; avoid testing multiple concerns in a single test.
  • Use Arrange–Act–Assert: set up data, perform the action, assert the outcome.
  • Mock external dependencies (APIs, databases, file system) to isolate the unit under test.
  • Use descriptive test names that state the scenario and expected outcome (e.g. should return null when user is not found).
  • Aim for 80–90% coverage of critical paths; avoid chasing 100% for its own sake.
  • Keep tests fast; avoid real I/O, sleeps, or heavy setup.

Integration Testing

  • Test interactions between components, services, or modules.
  • Mock external services (third-party APIs, payment gateways) but use real or in-memory databases where appropriate.
  • Test database connections, queries, and transactions; use test fixtures and clean up after each run.
  • Verify API contracts, request/response shapes, and error handling.
  • Prefer bottom-up or sandwich approaches over big-bang integration.

End-to-End Testing

  • Test complete user flows (e.g. login → create item → checkout).
  • Use data-testid attributes for stable selectors; avoid CSS classes or XPath that change with styling.
  • Prefer Cypress or Playwright for web E2E; avoid brittle, implementation-coupled selectors.
  • Keep E2E suites small and focused on critical paths; they are slow and costly to maintain.
  • Run E2E against a dedicated test environment; avoid production data.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

testing is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository adonai-labs/agent-runway (2 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,599 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
