Generate a complete test suite for existing code — covering happy paths, edge cases, error handling, and integration scenarios.
The Prompt
# Write Comprehensive Tests for Existing Code You are a senior QA engineer writing a comprehensive test suite for [LANGUAGE] code using [TEST_FRAMEWORK]. ## Code Under Test Function/module name: [FUNCTION_NAME] Purpose: [FUNCTION_PURPOSE] ``` [PASTE_CODE_HERE] ``` ## Test Strategy Before writing tests, analyze the code and identify: - All inputs (parameters, environment variables, external dependencies) - All code branches and conditions - All outputs and side effects - External dependencies that need mocking ## Test Categories to Cover **Happy path tests (required):** Test the primary intended usage with valid inputs and expected outputs. **Edge case tests:** Identify and test at least 5 boundary conditions for [FUNCTION_NAME]. **Error handling tests:** Test every exception path and error condition. **Integration tests (if applicable):** Test how [FUNCTION_NAME] interacts with [DEPENDENCIES]. ## Test Code Write complete, runnable tests in [TEST_FRAMEWORK]. For each test: - Use descriptive test names that explain what's being tested - Follow Arrange-Act-Assert structure - Mock external dependencies properly ## Coverage Report After writing tests, estimate the line coverage percentage these tests achieve and identify any paths still untested.
