Detect test smells, overmocking, flaky tests, and coverage issues. Analyze test effectiveness, maintainability, and reliability. Use when reviewing tests or improving test quality.
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
# Test Quality Analysis
Expert knowledge for analyzing and improving test quality - detecting test smells, overmocking, insufficient coverage, and testing anti-patterns.
## Core Dimensions
- **Correctness**: Tests verify the right behavior
- **Reliability**: Tests are deterministic, not flaky
- **Maintainability**: Tests are easy to understand
- **Performance**: Tests run quickly
- **Coverage**: Tests cover critical code paths
- **Isolation**: Tests don't depend on external state
## Test Smells
### Overmocking
**Problem**: Mocking too many dependencies makes tests fragile.
```typescript
// ❌ BAD: Overmocked
test('calculate total', () => {
const mockAdd = vi.fn(() => 10)
const mockMultiply = vi.fn(() => 20)
// Testing implementation, not behavior
})
// ✅ GOOD: Mock only external dependencies
test('calculate order total', () => {
const mockPricingAPI = vi.fn(() => ({ tax: 0.1 }))
const total = calculateTotal(order, mockPricingAPI)
expect(total).toBe(38)
})
```
**Detection**: More than 3-4 mocks, mocking pure functions, complex mock setup.
**Fix**: Mock only I/O boundaries (APIs, databases, filesystem).

How to install
mdr add secondsky/claude-skills/test-quality-analysis@sha256:c66ade0dcf72116bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260402.75421fa, 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.
