Unit Test Security Authorization

What it does

This skill allows AI agents to write unit tests for security authorization logic. It focuses on verifying that access control decisions are made correctly based on user roles and permissions, ensuring only authorized users can perform specific actions. The generated tests help identify vulnerabilities related to incorrect authorization implementations.

When to use it

• Developing new features: Automatically generate initial security test suites when building new functionality with access control requirements.
• Refactoring existing code: Ensure that changes to authorization logic don't introduce regressions or bypasses.
• Security audits: Quickly create a baseline of tests to evaluate the effectiveness of current authorization implementations.
• Code reviews: Provide reviewers with automatically generated test cases to verify security authorization logic.

Key capabilities

• Generates unit tests for authorization code.
• Focuses on verifying access control decisions.
• Tests based on user roles and permissions.

Example prompts

• "Generate unit tests for the check_admin_permission function."
• "Create a test suite to verify that only users with 'editor' role can publish articles."
• "Write tests ensuring unauthorized users cannot access the /admin/dashboard endpoint."

Tips & gotchas

This skill is most effective when provided with clear and well-defined authorization logic. It assumes the underlying code structure follows standard practices for security authorization implementations.
