How does this skill help with TDD?

It enforces Red-Green-Refactor cycles by blocking tests written after implementation and highlighting when a test is merely verifying a mock instead of real behavior.

Can I use test-only methods if I label them clearly?

No, the skill strictly blocks test-only methods in production classes to prevent pollution and accidental calls; it suggests moving them to test utilities instead.

Does this work for all testing frameworks?

Yes, it is designed to recognize universal testing anti-patterns regardless of the specific library or language being used.

When should I choose an integration test over a mock?

If your mock setup exceeds 50% of your test logic or becomes too complex, the skill advises switching to an integration test with real components.

What happens if my mock is missing fields?

The skill identifies incomplete mocks and requires them to mirror the full real API structure to prevent silent failures in downstream code.

보안 및 테스팅

Prevents common testing mistakes by enforcing high-quality test patterns and blocking harmful mocking practices.

The Testing Anti-Pattern Guard acts as an automated quality gate for software testing, ensuring that developers focus on verifying real application behavior rather than the state of internal mocks. It identifies and blocks specific anti-patterns such as adding test-only methods to production classes, creating incomplete mocks that miss crucial API fields, and writing tests as an afterthought. By promoting strict Test-Driven Development (TDD) principles, it helps maintain clean production codebases and builds robust, reliable test suites that don't fail silently.
