testing-patterns SKILL.md skillA
testing-patterns from vodailocz/kilo-kit-mcp is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add vodailocz/kilo-kit-mcp/testing-patterns@git:20260502.38d5305Pins git:20260502.38d5305 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Testing patterns and principles. Unit, integration, mocking strategies.
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
# Testing Patterns
> Principles for reliable test suites.
---
## 1. Testing Pyramid
```
/\ E2E (Few)
/ \ Critical flows
/----\
/ \ Integration (Some)
/--------\ API, DB queries
/ \
/------------\ Unit (Many)
Functions, classes
```
---
## 2. AAA Pattern
| Step | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| **Arrange** | Set up test data |
| **Act** | Execute code under test |
| **Assert** | Verify outcome |
---
## 3. Test Type Selection
### When to Use Each
| Type | Best For | Speed |
|------|----------|-------|
| **Unit** | Pure functions, logic | Fast (<50ms) |
| **Integration** | API, DB, services | Medium |
| **E2E** | Critical user flows | Slow |
---
## 4. Unit Test Principles
### Good Unit Tests
| Principle | Meaning |
|-----------|---------|
| Fast | < 100ms each |
| Isolated | No external deps |
| Repeatable | Same result always |
| Self-checking | No manual verification |
| Timely | Written with code |
### What to Unit Test
| Test | Don't Test |
|------|------------|
| Business logic | Framework code |
| Edge cases | Third-party libs |
| Error handling | Simple getters |

How to install
mdr add vodailocz/kilo-kit-mcp/testing-patterns@sha256:f229085ad979d04cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260502.38d5305, 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.
