Unit Test Controller Layer

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to generate unit tests specifically for the controller layer of an application. It focuses on testing business logic, request handling, and integration with services or databases in a structured way.

When to use it

• You need to ensure that your controller methods are correctly handling HTTP requests and responses.
• You want to automate test creation as part of a CI/CD pipeline for backend applications.
• Your team is following TDD (Test-Driven Development) practices and needs tests before implementing functionality.
• You're refactoring an existing codebase and need comprehensive coverage for the controller layer.

Key capabilities

• Generates unit tests for controller methods in various frameworks (e.g., Spring Boot, Express.js).
• Mocks dependencies such as services or databases to isolate controller logic.
• Supports testing of request validation, error handling, and response formatting.

Example prompts

• "Generate unit tests for the UserController class in my Spring Boot application."
• "Write test cases for all HTTP methods in the ProductController using Jest."
• "Create mock services and test the OrderController endpoints for correct data processing."

Tips & gotchas

• Ensure your codebase has proper structure so that the AI can locate controller files.
• Some frameworks may require specific annotations or configurations to be recognized by the skill.
