## What it does

This skill provides structured testing patterns for user interfaces. It bundles reference guides for React unit testing in Jest, Vue component tests using Vitest, and end-to-end test suites in Cypress. Another guide covers test coverage reporting.

The included examples show common frontend assertions. They demonstrate button rendering, click handlers with mock functions, and disabled state validation.

Your project still needs the actual testing libraries installed, such as Cypress or `@testing-library/react`. This skill supplies code conventions, but it does not manage your `node_modules` dependencies.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts --skill frontend-testing -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/frontend-testing/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/frontend-testing/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts --skill frontend-testing -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/frontend-testing/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts --skill frontend-testing -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/frontend-testing/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts frontend-testing
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/frontend-testing/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts --skill frontend-testing -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts --path skills/frontend-testing
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/frontend-testing/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts --skill frontend-testing -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts/tree/HEAD/skills/frontend-testing/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- write component tests using React Testing Library
- set up Vitest integration tests for Vue components
- build end-to-end UI scenarios with Cypress
- configure test coverage reporting

## Example prompts
- Write a unit test for this button component using React Testing Library.
- Set up a Cypress end-to-end test for our login form.
- Configure test coverage reporting for this Vitest project.

## Overview

Build comprehensive test suites for frontend applications including unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests with proper coverage and assertions.

## When to Use

- Component testing
- Integration testing
- End-to-end testing
- Regression prevention
- Quality assurance
- Test-driven development

## Quick Start

Minimal working example:

```typescript
// Button.test.tsx
import { render, screen, fireEvent } from '@testing-library/react';
import '@testing-library/jest-dom';
import { Button } from './Button';

describe('Button Component', () => {
  it('renders button with text', () => {
    render(<Button>Click me</Button>);
    expect(screen.getByRole('button')).toHaveTextContent('Click me');
  });

  it('calls onClick handler when clicked', () => {
    const handleClick = jest.fn();
    render(<Button onClick={handleClick}>Click</Button>);

    fireEvent.click(screen.getByRole('button'));
    expect(handleClick).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1);
  });

  it('disables button when disabled prop is true', () => {
    render(<Button disabled>Click me</Button>);
    expect(screen.getByRole('button')).toBeDisabled();
  });

  it('applies variant styles correctly', () => {
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)
```

## Best Practices

### ✅ DO

- Follow established patterns and conventions
- Write clean, maintainable code
- Add appropriate documentation
- Test thoroughly before deploying

### ❌ DON'T

- Skip testing or validation
- Ignore error handling
- Hard-code configuration values
