assertion-quality
From the author
Analyze assertion quality, depth, variety, and false confidence in existing tests. ALWAYS USE when asked about weak, shallow, trivial, always-true, self-referential, assertion-free, presence/truthiness-only, or insufficiently diverse assertions, including MSTest, Jest, pytest, and Go. DO NOT USE for direct fixes: writing-mstest-tests owns supplied MSTest assertions; code-testing owns new cases. Use test-gap-analysis when asked whether tests would catch a production change, and test-anti-patterns for general severity-ranked audits.

- test-anti-patternsdotnet/skillsAudit a test file or suite; produce a severity-ranked diagnostic report. ALWAYS USE for tests that verify nothing, missing/tautological assertions, swallowed/broad exceptions, flaky/order-dependent tests, duplication, or magic values. Polyglot. DO NOT USE for direct edits: writing-mstest-tests owns supplied MSTest assertions/attributes/lifecycle; code-testing owns new tests. Exclude running tests, migration, assertion metrics (assertion-quality), raw .NET coverage collection (run-tests), non-.NET coverage collection/analysis (native tooling), project-wide .NET coverage/CRAP (coverage-analysis), named-target .NET CRAP (crap-score), behavioral/pseudo-mutation gaps (test-gap-analysis), test-mix/ happy-vs-error classification and trait distributions (test-tagging), or the testsmells.org catalog (test-smell-detection).Testing★ 5.7K
- test-gap-analysisdotnet/skillsFind caller-visible production changes existing tests would miss through pseudo-mutation analysis; verify candidates or close gaps only when requested. Includes read-only per-test composition for grading. Polyglot. USE FOR: would tests catch a bug, behavioral blind spots, surviving mutations. DO NOT USE FOR: concrete fix/feature revision proof (test-value-evidence); suite taxonomy (test-tagging); .NET coverage, Cobertura, plateaus or coverage-backed priorities (coverage-analysis); named CRAP (crap-score); new suites (code-testing); assertion/smell audits; mutation tools.Testing★ 5.7K
- grade-testsdotnet/skillsGrade curated individual tests for readiness, A-F quality and improvements. ALWAYS USE FOR: grade tests, review only a named test, per-test readiness or quality bands for supplied methods, bodies, file spans or bounded PR diffs, including existing tests. Return Pass/Failed/Uncertain/Not applicable; unresolved/empty scopes omit grades. Compose read-only per-test evidence. Polyglot. DO NOT USE FOR: suite audits (test-engineer/test-anti-patterns), concrete fix/feature detection proof (test-value-evidence), writing/fixing tests, or coverage.Testing★ 5.7K
- test-taggingdotnet/skillsClassifies existing tests by standard traits and reports their distribution. USE FOR: tagging all tests with category attributes, categorizing/tagging/ labeling each test, compare happy vs error paths, audit the test mix, describe coverage shape by test type, or tag then verify the project builds. Read bodies when names mislead. Apply canonical attributes; otherwise report only. DO NOT USE FOR: requests owned by test-anti-patterns, coverage-analysis, crap-score, test-gap-analysis, code-testing, or migration skills.Testing★ 5.7K
- code-testingdotnet/skillsALWAYS USE for test work that requires changes: write, add, generate, repair, or strengthen tests for existing code in xUnit, MSTest, NUnit, pytest, Vitest/Jest, Go, or another framework. Includes regression cases, failing or flaky tests, coverage-driven additions, and audit-then-fix requests. Focused work stays direct; broad or multi-stage work invokes test-engineer. DO NOT USE for only running tests, analysis-only audits, framework/platform migrations, a test blocked on a missing production seam (testability-obstacle), or MSTest API/configuration corrections that do not design new cases (writing-mstest-tests). Within an active test-engineer pipeline, reuse supplied guidance and do not re-enter this skill.Testing★ 5.7K
- test-value-evidencedotnet/skillsAssess tests for an identified code or test change, feature, PR or commit. USE FOR: review changed behavior or regression tests, prove pre-fix/missing behavior is detected, revision-bound red-green evidence. Polyglot. DO NOT USE without an identified change: hypothetical mutations or general suite blind spots (test-gap-analysis). Also exclude per-test readiness/A-F grades (grade-tests), coverage (coverage-analysis), new suites (code-testing), or mutation engines.Testing★ 5.7K
