How does this skill detect flaky Go tests?

It scans your AST for patterns known to cause non-determinism, such as time.Sleep, goroutines without WaitGroups, and unseeded random number generators.

Can it identify hidden network or database calls?

Yes, the skill identifies the use of sql.Open, http.Client, and other network-related functions that indicate a test is relying on external infrastructure.

Does it provide suggestions on how to fix issues?

Absolutely. For every detected issue, the tool provides impact explanations and specific code examples for refactoring, such as using t.TempDir() or httptest.Server.

Does this work with standard Go project structures?

Yes, it is designed to work with any Go project containing a go.mod file and standard *_test.go naming conventions.

安全与测试

Analyzes Go test files to identify flakiness, complexity, and testing anti-patterns to improve suite reliability.

The Go Test Quality Analyzer is a specialized tool designed to audit Go project test suites by scanning *_test.go files for critical quality issues. It employs sophisticated static analysis to detect external dependencies such as real database connections or HTTP calls, identifies non-deterministic flaky patterns like improper synchronization or sleep calls, and flags high-complexity tests that are difficult to maintain. By providing structured reports with severity-based prioritization and actionable refactoring suggestions, it helps developers build faster, more reliable, and idiomatic Go testing infrastructures.
