How does the Factory Pattern improve my tests?

The Factory Pattern allows you to create reusable mock data functions with sensible defaults. This makes tests more readable and ensures you only override the specific properties relevant to the current test case.

What is the recommended testing philosophy?

The skill promotes Test-Driven Development (TDD) and behavior-driven testing, which focuses on testing the public API and business requirements rather than brittle implementation details.

Does this skill support React Native?

Yes, it includes specific patterns and utilities tailored for @testing-library/react-native, including custom renderers and user interaction patterns.

Can I use this for mocking GraphQL queries?

Absolutely. The skill provides specific strategies for mocking generated GraphQL hooks, allowing you to simulate data, loading, and error states easily.

Security & Testing

Implements robust Jest testing patterns, factory functions, and TDD workflows to ensure high-quality, maintainable codebases.

About

This skill equips Claude with standardized patterns for unit and integration testing using Jest and React Native Testing Library. It emphasizes a Test-Driven Development (TDD) approach, behavior-oriented testing, and the Factory Pattern for creating maintainable test data. By leveraging custom renderers, module mocking strategies, and GraphQL hook abstractions, it helps developers write resilient tests that focus on public APIs rather than implementation details, significantly reducing technical debt and improving code reliability across complex projects.

Key Features

Test-Driven Development (TDD) workflow guidance using Red-Green-Refactor cycles.
Advanced mocking strategies for external modules and generated GraphQL hooks.
Standardized test structures and behavior-driven query patterns for cleaner suites.
Automated Factory Pattern implementation for reusable mock data and component props.
0 GitHub stars
Custom render functions for wrapping components with theme and context providers.

Use Cases

Refactoring legacy codebases by implementing a TDD-first approach with robust mocks.
Building a comprehensive unit testing suite for React Native or React applications.
Creating reusable data factories to keep test suites DRY and maintainable across large teams.
