130-java-testing-strategies
This Claude Code skill applies three proven testing frameworks to Java unit tests: RIGHT-BICEP guides test creation by addressing results, boundaries, relationships, and error conditions; A-TRIP ensures tests are automatic, thorough, repeatable, independent, and professional; CORRECT verifies boundary conditions across conformance, ordering, range, and cardinality. Use it when reviewing Java test quality, designing new test cases, or strengthening verification of edge cases and limits.

# Java testing strategies Apply proven testing strategies (RIGHT-BICEP, A-TRIP, CORRECT) to design and verify Java unit tests. **What is covered in this Skill?** - **RIGHT-BICEP**: Key questions to guide test creation — Right results, Boundary conditions, Inverse relationships, Cross-checks, Error conditions, Performance - **A-TRIP**: Characteristics of good tests — Automatic, Thorough, Repeatable, Independent, Professional - **CORRECT**: Boundary condition verification — Conformance, Ordering, Range, Reference, Existence, Cardinality, Time ## Constraints Before applying any test strategy changes, ensure the project compiles. If compilation fails, stop immediately — do not proceed until resolved. After applying improvements, run full verification. - **MANDATORY**: Run `./mvnw compile` or `mvn compile` before applying any change - **SAFETY**: If compilation fails, stop immediately and do not proceed — compilation failure is a blocking condition - **VERIFY**: Run `./mvnw clean verify` or `mvn clean verify` after applying improvements - **BEFORE APPLYING**: Read the reference for detailed examples, good/bad patterns, and constraints - **EDGE CASE**: If the user goal is ambiguous, stop and ask a clarifying question before editing files or running project-wide commands - **EDGE CASE**: If required context, files, credentials, or tools are missing, report the blocker explicitly and ask whether to proceed with setup or fallback guidance - **EDGE CASE**: If requested changes conflict with project constraints or safety boundaries, explain the conflict and ask for user confirmation on the preferred trade-off ## When to use this skill - Review Java code for testing strategies - Apply RIGHT-BICEP testing strategies in Java code - Apply A-TRIP testing strategies in Java code - Apply CORRECT boundary condition verification in Java code ## Workflow 1. **Compile project before test-strategy changes** Run `./mvnw compile` or `mvn compile` and stop immediately if compilation fails. 2. **Read testing-strategies reference** Read `references/130-java-testing-strategies.md` and map current tests to RIGHT-BICEP, A-TRIP, and CORRECT gaps. 3. **Apply strategy-driven test improvements** Improve or add tests to cover missing boundaries, quality characteristics, and verification depth. 4. **Verify with full build** Run `./mvnw clean verify` or `mvn clean verify` after applying improvements. ## Reference For detailed guidance, examples, and constraints, see [references/130-java-testing-strategies.md](references/130-java-testing-strategies.md).
Use when you need to generate a checklist document with Java system prompts, following the embedded template exactly and producing INVENTORY-SKILLS-JAVA.md in the project root. This should trigger for requests such as Create Java system prompts checklist; Generate INVENTORY-SKILLS-JAVA.md; Use @001-skills-inventory. Part of cursor-rules-java project
Use when you need to generate a checklist document with embedded agents inventory, following the embedded template exactly and producing INVENTORY-AGENTS-JAVA.md in the project root. This should trigger for requests such as Create embedded agents inventory checklist; Generate INVENTORY-AGENTS-JAVA.md; Use @002-agents-inventory. Part of cursor-rules-java project
Use when you need to install the embedded robot agents into either .cursor/agents or .claude/agents, selecting the destination interactively and copying the embedded agent definitions from project assets. This should trigger for requests such as Install embedded agents; Bootstrap .cursor/agents; Bootstrap .claude/agents; Copy robot agents. Part of cursor-rules-java project
Guides the creation of agile epics with comprehensive definition including business value, success criteria, and breakdown into user stories. Use when the user wants to create an agile epic, define large bodies of work, break down features into user stories, or document strategic initiatives. This should trigger for requests such as Create an agile epic; Write an epic; I need to create an epic; Define an epic; Epic definition. Part of cursor-rules-java project
Guides the creation of detailed agile feature documentation from an existing epic. Use when the user wants to split an epic into feature files, derive features with scope and acceptance criteria, or plan feature documentation for stakeholders or engineering. This should trigger for requests such as Create features from an epic; Split epic into features; Feature files from epic; Derive features from epic. Part of cursor-rules-java project
Guides the creation of agile user stories and Gherkin feature files. Use when the user wants to create a user story, write acceptance criteria, define Gherkin scenarios, or author BDD feature files. This should trigger for requests such as Create a user story; Write a user story; I need to write a user story. Part of cursor-rules-java project
Use when you need to generate Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for a Java project through an interactive, conversational process that systematically gathers context, stakeholders, options, and outcomes to produce well-structured ADR documents. This should trigger for requests such as Generate ADR; Create Architecture Decision Record; Document architecture decision; Architecture Decision Record for Java. Part of cursor-rules-java project
Facilitates conversational discovery to create Architectural Decision Records (ADRs) for functional requirements covering CLI, REST/HTTP APIs, or both. Use when the user wants to document command-line or HTTP service architecture, capture functional requirements, create ADRs for CLI or API projects, or design interfaces with documented decisions. This should trigger for requests such as Create ADR for functional requirements; Document functional requirements; Capture functional requirements; Generate functional requirements in an ADR.
