testing

testing is a cursor rule for Cursor from MCKRUZ/claude-code-mastery. It costs 432 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of software-testing rules covering bug reproduction, test-driven development (TDD), test coverage, naming, mocking and test commands. TDD means writing a failing test first, making it pass with the smallest change, then cleaning up the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to reproduce bugs with tests, guide fixes, choose unit, integration and end-to-end tests, and apply testing conventions in C#, TypeScript/Angular and Python.
Why use it?
It makes bug fixes provable and keeps testing practices consistent across projects. It also discourages replacing the code under test with fake versions during testing.

Written for Cursor: a Cursor rule (.mdc). Also seen: mentions subagents.

Good fit Use it to reproduce bugs with tests, guide fixes, choose unit, integration and end-to-end tests, and apply testing conventions in C#, TypeScript/Angular and Python.

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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Testing

Bug Fix Workflow (MANDATORY)

When I report a bug, don't start by trying to fix it. Instead:

  1. Write a test that reproduces the bug (prove it fails)
  2. Have subagents try to fix the bug and prove it with a passing test
  3. The fix isn't done until the test passes This applies to all projects, always.

Coverage: 80% minimum

Unit + Integration + E2E for critical flows.

TDD (when requested)

RED (write failing test) → GREEN (minimal implementation) → REFACTOR (clean up, verify coverage)

Test Naming

  • C#: MethodName_Scenario_ExpectedResult (e.g., Handle_InvalidRequest_ReturnsValidationFailure)
  • TypeScript/Angular: descriptive it('should ...') strings
  • Python: test_scenario_expected_result

Mocking Discipline

  • Prefer real implementations over mocks. Use WebApplicationFactory<Program> + in-memory DB for integration tests.
  • Only mock external services (HTTP clients, third-party APIs) and time (TimeProvider).
  • Never mock the thing you're testing. Never mock value objects or DTOs.

Patterns

  • C#: xUnit, Arrange-Act-Assert, Moq (sparingly), WebApplicationFactory<Program> + in-memory DB for pipeline tests
  • Angular: Jasmine/Karma, HttpTestingController, afterEach(() => httpMock.verify())
  • Python: pytest, fixtures over setup methods, parametrize for variant cases
  • E2E: Playwright with data-testid selectors

Commands

  • C#: dotnet test, dotnet test --collect:"XPlat Code Coverage"
  • Angular: ng test --code-coverage, ng test --watch=false --browsers=ChromeHeadless
  • Python: pytest, pytest --cov
  • E2E: npx playwright test

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.
