BDD Test Runner & Compliance Validator

Executes GIVEN-WHEN-THEN tests with compliance validation and coverage analysis.

Instructions

1. Understand Test Request

Common requests:

  • "Run all tests" → ./gradlew test
  • "Run compiler tests" → ./gradlew :compiler:test
  • "Run specific tests" → ./gradlew :compiler:test --tests "*Pattern*"
  • "Validate test naming" → BDD compliance check only
  • "Check coverage" → Coverage analysis

2. Pre-Execution BDD Compliance Check

Unit tests live in compiler/, codegen-runtime/, gradle-plugin/, compiler-api/ and build-logic/ (src/test/kotlin); sample tests live under samples/*/src/*Test/.

TEST_DIRS="compiler/src/test codegen-runtime/src/test gradle-plugin/src/test compiler-api/src/test build-logic/src/test"

# Count GIVEN-WHEN-THEN tests
grep -rh "fun \`GIVEN" $TEST_DIRS | wc -l

# Forbidden "should" naming — expect zero matches
grep -rn "fun \`should" $TEST_DIRS

Compliance checklist:

  • All test methods use GIVEN-WHEN-THEN naming (uppercase)
  • No "should" pattern (forbidden)
  • All classes have @TestInstance(TestInstance.Lifecycle.PER_CLASS)
  • Vanilla assertions only (no custom matchers)
  • No mocks (use fakes)

If violations found — report and do not proceed until acknowledged:

BDD COMPLIANCE VIOLATION

Found {count} tests using "should" pattern (forbidden)
Files: {list}
Reference: .claude/docs/development/validation/testing-guidelines.md

3. Execute Tests

# All tests (from the repository root)
./gradlew test

# One module (:compiler, :codegen-runtime, :gradle-plugin, :compiler-api)
./gradlew :codegen-runtime:test

# Pattern-based
./gradlew :compiler:test --tests "*{Pattern}*"

# Samples (built against the published plugin)
make publish-local && make test-sample

4. Analyze Results

Parse output: total run, passed, failed, skipped, execution time.

If failures: categorize each failure and suggest relevant skills:

  • Compilation errors → compilation skill
  • Test logic errors → fix test or implementation
  • Missing imports → check generated code

5. Coverage Analysis

List source files with no matching *Test.kt in the module you changed (a heuristic — some classes are covered through other tests):

MODULE=codegen-runtime   # or compiler, gradle-plugin, compiler-api
find $MODULE/src/main/kotlin -name "*.kt" | while read file; do
    testFile="${file/src\/main/src\/test}"
    testFile="${testFile/.kt/Test.kt}"
    if [ ! -f "$testFile" ]; then
        echo "Missing tests for: $file"
    fi
done

6. Report

BDD TEST EXECUTION REPORT

Compliance: {PASSED/FAILED}
- GIVEN-WHEN-THEN naming: {count}/{total} ✅
- "should" violations: {count}

Execution:
- Total: {n} | Passed: {n} | Failed: {n} | Skipped: {n}
- Time: {duration}

Coverage:
- Implementation files: {n} | Test files: {n}
- Coverage gaps: {list if any}

Follow-up suggestions:

  • If coverage gaps → offer to write GIVEN-WHEN-THEN tests for them
  • If failures → suggest fixes or relevant skills
