Test hardening

Skill bakerstreetco/skills/test-hardening

Add or improve tests around recently changed code, fragile behavior, regressions, or missing coverage. Use when asked to harden tests, add regression coverage, improve fixtures, reduce flaky tests, or verify behavior without broad refactors.From its SKILL.md

Test Hardening

Use this skill to make tests better at catching real regressions. Focus on behavior, risk, and fast feedback.

Workflow

  1. Inspect recent changes, existing tests, fixtures, helpers, and test commands.
  2. Identify the highest-risk behavior: edge cases, error paths, integration boundaries, parsing, persistence, permissions, and user-visible output.
  3. Add the smallest meaningful tests using the repository's existing test style and helper APIs.
  4. Prefer behavior assertions over implementation details.
  5. Keep fixtures local, readable, and reusable only when reuse is real.
  6. Reduce flakiness by controlling time, randomness, network, filesystem state, concurrency, and external services.
  7. Run the focused test command, then a broader related suite when practical.

Checks

  • Tests fail before the fix when a regression is easy to demonstrate.
  • Assertions cover outcome, not incidental structure.
  • Test names describe behavior.
  • New helpers reduce duplication without hiding important setup.
  • Slow or integration tests are clearly marked according to repo convention.

Output

Summarize the risk covered, test files changed, commands run, and any remaining untested behavior.
