Why does it prefer AssertJ over standard JUnit assertions?

AssertJ provides a fluent API that is significantly more readable and provides better error messages, making tests easier to maintain and debug.

Does this skill support Mockito?

Yes, it provides specific guidance on using Mockito effectively, emphasizing the use of static mock methods and explicit stubbing over annotations.

Can I use this for mocking domain objects?

This skill specifically discourages mocking domain objects. It recommends using real instances or test builders to ensure tests remain realistic and catch integration issues early.

What test structure does this skill follow?

It follows the Given-When-Then (BDD) structure and uses lower_snake_case for test method names to maximize readability and intent.

Security & Testing

Generates high-quality Java unit tests using JUnit 5 and AssertJ following BDD patterns and advanced mocking strategies.

About

The Java Unit Test Writer skill provides specialized guidance for creating robust, readable, and maintainable Java unit tests. It enforces industry best practices such as the BDD structure (given/when/then), effective mocking strategies that prioritize real domain objects and fakes over excessive mocking, and the use of AssertJ's fluent API for expressive assertions. By implementing patterns like test builders and nested test classes, this skill ensures your test suite remains clean and provides clear documentation of system behavior.
