Generate unit tests, identify edge cases, and analyze test coverage gaps.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Skill: Test Case Generation Generate comprehensive unit tests, identify edge cases, and analyze test coverage to improve code quality. ## When to Use - Writing tests for new features - Improving test coverage - Creating regression tests after bugs - TDD (Test-Driven Development) workflow - User asks "write tests for this function" or "what edge cases am I missing?" ## Prerequisites - Access to source code - Testing framework installed (pytest, jest, go test, cargo test, etc.) - Understanding of the code being tested - (Optional) Code coverage tool ## Procedure ### Step 1: Understand the Code Analyze the function/method to test: - **Purpose:** What does it do? - **Inputs:** What parameters does it accept? - **Outputs:** What does it return? - **Side effects:** Does it modify state, call APIs, write files? - **Error conditions:** What can go wrong? ### Step 2: Identify Test Categories **Happy path:** - Normal, expected inputs - Typical use cases **Edge cases:** - Boundary values (min/max, empty, null) - Special characters in strings - Zero, negative numbers - Very large inputs **Error cases:** - Invalid inputs - Missing required parameters - Type mismatches …

How to install
mdr add gsa-tts/agentic-coding-patterns/test-generation@sha256:2854aa213b43db93The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
