Does it support specific programming languages?

While the logic uses patterns common in TypeScript and Python, the underlying principles of file mapping and import analysis are applicable to most modern development environments.

What is an orphaned test?

An orphaned test is a test file or code block that references source code that has been deleted or renamed, making the test obsolete and potentially misleading.

How does Test Sync help with refactoring?

It identifies implementation-coupled tests that are tied to internal code details rather than behavior, allowing you to refactor safely without triggering unnecessary test failures.

Can this skill automatically delete test files?

The skill identifies orphaned files and generates specific cleanup commands (like rm or sed), allowing you to review and execute deletions safely.

Security & Testing

Ensures test suite integrity by detecting orphaned tests, missing coverage gaps, and implementation-coupled assertions.

About

The Test Sync skill automates the maintenance of your testing infrastructure by ensuring perfect alignment between source code and test files. Drawing on UTRefactor research, it identifies 'test smells' such as orphaned tests for deleted features, missing tests for new logic, and brittle assertions that track implementation details rather than behavior. It provides actionable reports and cleanup commands to keep your test suite lean, relevant, and highly traceable, helping development teams reduce test maintenance overhead and technical debt.
