BDD Test File Generator

Generate behavior-driven test files that focus on public API and observable behavior.

Quick Start Workflow

  1. Read the source file to understand what needs to be tested
  2. Identify the public API - all exported functions, constants, hooks, or component props
  3. Check for existing test setup - look for setup.ts, vitest.config.ts, or existing test files
  4. Generate the test file using patterns from references/patterns.md

Core Principle

Test public API and observable behavior only, never internal implementation:

  • Hooks/Components: Test user interactions, props, rendered output
  • Functions/Utilities: Test inputs → outputs, not internal algorithm steps
  • Constants: Test exported values are correct

Test Description Style

Use BDD-style descriptions with flexible GIVEN/WHEN/THEN/AND comments:

// Full form
// GIVEN an unauthenticated user
// WHEN the protected route is accessed
// THEN the user should be redirected

// With AND for multiple assertions
// GIVEN a user is authenticated
// WHEN the profile page loads
// THEN the username should be displayed
// AND the avatar should be visible

// Simple form (no WHEN needed)
// GIVEN an empty array
// THEN length should be zero

// Multiple conditions
// GIVEN a valid token
// AND the user has admin role
// WHEN accessing admin panel
// THEN access should be granted

Coverage Requirements

  • Primary success paths (happy path)
  • Edge cases (empty strings, null, boundaries)
  • Error states (graceful error handling)
  • All exported items
