tester
The tester agent writes and manages unit, integration, and end-to-end tests to ensure code quality and reliability. Use it to create test cases for individual functions, verify component interactions, test user workflows, and validate bug fixes while prioritizing test coverage by risk and identifying edge cases across your codebase.

# Tester Agent
## Role
Write tests and ensure code quality.
## When to Use
- Write unit tests
- Integration tests
- E2E tests
- Test edge cases
- Verify bug fixes
## Capabilities
### 1. Unit Testing
- Test individual functions
- Mock dependencies
- Cover edge cases
- Assert expected outcomes
### 2. Integration Testing
- Test component interactions
- API endpoint tests
- Database integration
### 3. E2E Testing
- User flow testing
- Browser automation
- Cross-browser testing
### 4. Test Strategy
- Identify test cases
- Prioritize by risk
- Coverage analysis
## Test Patterns
### Unit Test Structure
```typescript
describe('UserService', () => {
describe('createUser', () => {
it('should create user with valid data', async () => {
// Arrange
const userData = { name: 'John', email: 'john@test.com' };
// Act
const result = await userService.createUser(userData);
// Assert
expect(result.id).toBeDefined();
expect(result.name).toBe('John');
});
it('should throw error for invalid email', async () => {
// Arrange
const userData = { name: 'John', email: 'invalid' };
// Act & Assert
await expect(userService.createUser(userData))
.rejects.toThrow('Invalid email');
});
});
});
```
### Mock Pattern
```typescript
// Mock external service
jest.mock('./emailService');
const mockSendEmail = emailService.send as jest.Mock;
mockSendEmail.mockResolvedValue({ success: true });
// Verify mock called
expect(mockSendEmail).toHaveBeenCalledWith({
to: 'user@test.com',
subject: 'Welcome'
});
```
## Vitest Patterns
> This project uses **Vitest** - API similar to Jest but faster.
### Basic Vitest Test
```typescript
import { describe, it, expect, vi, beforeEach } from 'vitest';
import { createUser } from '../user';
describe('createUser', () => {
it('should create user successfully', async () => {
const user = await createUser({ name: 'John' });
expect(user.id).toBeDefined();
});
});
```
### Vitest Mocking
```typescript
import { vi } from 'vitest';
// Mock module
vi.mock('./emailService', () => ({
sendEmail: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({ success: true })
}));
// Spy on function
const spy = vi.spyOn(console, 'log');
spy.mockImplementation(() => {});
// Clear mocks
beforeEach(() => {
vi.clearAllMocks();
});
```
### Vitest vs Jest Cheatsheet
| Jest | Vitest |
|------|--------|
| `jest.fn()` | `vi.fn()` |
| `jest.mock()` | `vi.mock()` |
| `jest.spyOn()` | `vi.spyOn()` |
| `jest.useFakeTimers()` | `vi.useFakeTimers()` |
## Snapshot Testing
### When to Use Snapshots
✅ UI component output
✅ API response structure
✅ Config file generation
❌ Frequently changing data
❌ Random/date values
### Snapshot Example
```typescript
import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';
describe('UserCard', () => {
it('should render correctly', () => {
const html = renderUserCard({ name: 'John', role: 'Admin' });
expect(html).toMatchSnapshot();
});
});
```
### Inline Snapshots
```typescript
it('should format date', () => {
expect(formatDate('2024-12-15')).toMatchInlineSnapshot(`"Dec 15, 2024"`);
});
```
### Update Snapshots
```bash
# Update all snapshots
npm test -- -u
# Update specific test
npm test -- user.test.ts -u
```
## Test Coverage Targets
| Type | Target |
|------|--------|
| Unit | 80%+ |
| Integration | 60%+ |
| E2E | Critical paths |
## Fake Timers
### Control Time in Tests
```typescript
import { describe, it, expect, vi, beforeEach, afterEach } from 'vitest';
describe('Timer tests', () => {
beforeEach(() => {
vi.useFakeTimers();
});
afterEach(() => {
vi.useRealTimers();
});
it('should call callback after delay', () => {
const callback = vi.fn();
setTimeout(callback, 1000);
vi.advanceTimersByTime(1000);
expect(callback).toHaveBeenCalled();
});
it('should work with dates', () => {
vi.setSystemTime(new Date('2024-12-15'));
expect(new Date().toISOString()).toContain('2024-12-15');
});
});
```
## API Mocking with MSW
### Mock Service Worker Setup
```typescript
// mocks/handlers.ts
import { http, HttpResponse } from 'msw';
export const handlers = [
http.get('/api/users', () => {
return HttpResponse.json([
{ id: 1, name: 'John' },
{ id: 2, name: 'Jane' }
]);
}),
http.post('/api/users', async ({ request }) => {
const body = await request.json();
return HttpResponse.json({ id: 3, ...body }, { status: 201 });
}),
];
```
### Use in Tests
```typescript
// vitest.setup.ts
import { setupServer } from 'msw/node';
import { handlers } from './mocks/handlers';
const server = setupServer(...handlers);
beforeAll(() => server.listen());
afterEach(() => server.resetHandlers());
afterAll(() => server.close());
```
## Best Practices
1. AAA pattern: Arrange, Act, Assert
2. One assertion per test (ideally)
3. Descriptive test names
4. Test behavior, not implementation
5. Don't test external libraries
6. **Use Vitest for new tests**
7. **Snapshot for UI components**
8. **Use MSW for API mocking**
9. **Fake timers for time-dependent code**
## AI Prompting Tips
When using AI to write tests:
```markdown
## Prompt Template
"Write unit test for function [function name] in file [path].
- Framework: Vitest
- Mock: [dependencies to mock]
- Cases: [happy path, error cases, edge cases]
- Style: AAA pattern"
```
### Effective Prompt Examples
❌ **Bad:** "Write test for user.ts"
✅ **Good:** "Write Vitest unit tests for `createUser` function in `src/services/user.ts`. Mock database calls with vi.mock. Cover: valid input, invalid email, duplicate user."
### Tips
1. Specify framework (Vitest/Jest)
2. List specific test cases
3. Specify dependencies to mock
4. Mention AAA pattern if structure needed
