Five tests worth writing
A change you want covered without writing forty tests.
Here is a change I am about to ship. Give me the five tests worth writing for it, ranked by how likely each is to catch a real regression. Say which level each belongs at: unit, integration, or end to end. Skip anything that only tests the framework. Change:
Making it yours
- Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
- Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
- If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.
Finding coverage gaps. Working out which behaviours, edge cases and error paths nothing currently checks.
