TestStrategy Decorator

Designs comprehensive testing approaches for software components or systems.

Category: Testing And Debugging

Parameters

Parameter Type Description Default
level enum Testing scope level unit
framework enum Testing framework to use language-appropriate
approach enum Testing methodology tdd

Level Options

  • unit: Focus on unit testing individual components in isolation.
  • integration: Design integration tests that verify interactions between components.
  • e2e: Create end-to-end tests that validate complete user workflows.
  • performance: Develop performance tests to measure system responsiveness and stability under load.
  • security: Implement security tests to identify vulnerabilities and ensure data protection.

Framework Options

  • jest: Use Jest as the testing framework.
  • pytest: Implement tests using the pytest framework.
  • junit: Develop tests with the JUnit framework.
  • mocha: Create tests using the Mocha framework.
  • cypress: Build tests with the Cypress framework.

Approach Options

  • tdd: Follow Test-Driven Development methodology (write tests before implementation).
  • bdd: Use Behavior-Driven Development with descriptive scenarios that reflect user requirements.
  • property: Implement property-based testing to verify invariants across many generated inputs.
  • snapshot: Utilize snapshot testing to detect unexpected UI or data structure changes.

Examples

Integration testing strategy for an authentication service

+++TestStrategy(level=integration, framework=jest, approach=bdd)
Design a testing strategy for an authentication service with database and external API dependencies.

A comprehensive integration testing strategy using Jest and BDD approach, focusing on testing interactions between the authentication service, database, and external APIs.

Unit testing strategy with default parameters

+++TestStrategy()
Design tests for a string manipulation utility library.

A unit testing strategy using TDD methodology with an appropriate framework for the implementation language, focusing on testing individual functions in isolation.

Performance testing for a high-traffic API

+++TestStrategy(level=performance, framework=junit)
Create tests for a payment processing API that handles 1000 transactions per second.

A performance testing strategy using JUnit to measure throughput, response time, and stability of the payment API under high load conditions.

Model-Specific Implementations

gpt-4-turbo

Instruction: Create a detailed testing strategy that includes test cases, methodologies, and frameworks for the following scenario:

Notes: More explicit instruction for models with less context understanding.

Implementation Guidance

Web application testing

Original Prompt: 

Design a testing strategy for an authentication service with database and external API dependencies.

Transformed Prompt: 

Design a testing strategy for the following, considering best practices for software quality assurance. Focus on integration tests that verify interactions between components. Use Jest as the testing framework. Use Behavior-Driven Development with descriptive scenarios that reflect user requirements.

Design a testing strategy for an authentication service with database and external API dependencies.

Notes: This example shows how the decorator adds specific guidance for integration testing with Jest using BDD methodology.
