# Windsurf Test Generation
## Overview
This skill enables AI-powered test generation for any codebase using Windsurf's Cascade. It analyzes function signatures, identifies edge cases, creates meaningful assertions, and generates mock data.
## Prerequisites
- Windsurf IDE with Cascade enabled
- Testing framework installed (Jest, Vitest, pytest, etc.)
- Project with testable code (functions, classes, components)
- Code coverage tool configured (optional but recommended)
- Understanding of testing patterns and best practices
## Instructions
1. **Configure Testing Framework**
2. **Select Target Code**
3. **Generate Tests with Cascade**
4. **Add Custom Scenarios**
5. **Integrate into Workflow**
See `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/implementation.md` for detailed implementation guide.
## Output
- Test files with comprehensive coverage
- Mock data and fixture files
- Coverage report with metrics
- Test pattern documentation for team
## Error Handling
See `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/errors.md` for comprehensive error handling.
## Examples
See `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/examples.md` for detailed examples.
