Unit Test Generator

Generate comprehensive unit tests with edge cases and AAA pattern.

AAA Pattern Template

// tests/utils/validator.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect } from "vitest";
import { validateEmail } from "@/utils/validator";

describe("validateEmail", () => {
  it("should return true for valid email", () => {
    // Arrange
    const email = "user@example.com";

    // Act
    const result = validateEmail(email);

    // Assert
    expect(result).toBe(true);
  });

  it("should return false for invalid email - missing @", () => {
    // Arrange
    const email = "userexample.com";

    // Act
    const result = validateEmail(email);

    // Assert
    expect(result).toBe(false);
  });

  it("should return false for invalid email - missing domain", () => {
    // Arrange
    const email = "user@";

    // Act
    const result = validateEmail(email);

    // Assert
    expect(result).toBe(false);
  });
});

Comprehensive Test Cases

function generateTestTemplate(filePath: string): string {
  const fileName = path.basename(filePath, path.extname(filePath));
  const className = fileName.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + fileName.slice(1);

  return `
import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';
import { ${className} } from '@/${filePath}';

Best Practices

1. AAA pattern: Arrange-Act-Assert structure
2. One assertion per test: Keep tests focused
3. Descriptive names: "should [expected behavior] when [condition]"
4. Test edge cases: null, undefined, empty, max values
5. Test errors: Verify error handling
6. Isolated tests: No shared state between tests
7. Fast tests: Unit tests should run in milliseconds

Output Checklist
