# JavaScript Testing Patterns

Comprehensive guide for implementing robust testing strategies in JavaScript/TypeScript applications using modern testing frameworks and best practices.

## Use this skill when

- Setting up test infrastructure for new projects
- Writing unit tests for functions and classes
- Creating integration tests for APIs and services
- Implementing end-to-end tests for user flows
- Mocking external dependencies and APIs
- Testing React, Vue, or other frontend components
- Implementing test-driven development (TDD)
- Setting up continuous testing in CI/CD pipelines

## Do not use this skill when

- The task is unrelated to javascript testing patterns
- You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

## Instructions

- Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
- Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
- Provide actionable steps and verification.
- If detailed examples are required, open `resources/implementation-playbook.md`.

## Resources

- `resources/implementation-playbook.md` for detailed patterns and examples.

## Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
