Would this catch a real bug?
A test you wrote mainly to make coverage go up.
Would this test catch a real bug, or only a refactor? Be honest, and say if it earns nothing.
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.
