testing-patterns

testing-patterns is a skill for Claude Code from xenitV1/Antigravity-Workflows. It costs 16 tokens per session (840 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of testing-patterns, MIT.

A guide to choosing and organising unit, integration, and end-to-end tests, including setup, execution, and result checks. Unit tests check small pieces of code; integration tests check how components work together.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose test types, structure tests with the Arrange-Act-Assert pattern, decide what to mock, and test business logic, edge cases, APIs, databases, and services.
Why use it?
It helps create test suites that are easier to maintain and balances fast isolated checks with broader system coverage.

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-patterns 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/test_runner.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 Patterns

Principles for reliable test suites.


1. Testing Pyramid

        /\          E2E (Few)
       /  \         Critical flows
      /----\
     /      \       Integration (Some)
    /--------\      API, DB queries
   /          \
  /------------\    Unit (Many)
                    Functions, classes

2. AAA Pattern

Step Purpose
Arrange Set up test data
Act Execute code under test
Assert Verify outcome

3. Test Type Selection

When to Use Each

Type Best For Speed
Unit Pure functions, logic Fast (<50ms)
Integration API, DB, services Medium
E2E Critical user flows Slow

4. Unit Test Principles

Good Unit Tests

Principle Meaning
Fast < 100ms each
Isolated No external deps
Repeatable Same result always
Self-checking No manual verification
Timely Written with code

What to Unit Test

Test Don't Test
Business logic Framework code
Edge cases Third-party libs
Error handling Simple getters

5. Integration Test Principles

What to Test

Area Focus
API endpoints Request/response
Database Queries, transactions
External services Contracts

Setup/Teardown

Phase Action
Before All Connect resources
Before Each Reset state
After Each Clean up
After All Disconnect

6. Mocking Principles

When to Mock

Mock Don't Mock
External APIs The code under test
Database (unit) Simple dependencies
Time/random Pure functions
Network In-memory stores

Mock Types

Type Use
Stub Return fixed values
Spy Track calls
Mock Set expectations
Fake Simplified implementation

7. Test Organization

Changes

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.
