🎯 Examples

Basic Function Testing

// src/utils/math.js
export function add(a, b) {
  return a + b;
}

export function multiply(a, b) {
  return a * b;
}

Generated test:

// __tests__/src/utils/math.test.js
import { describe, it, expect } from "@jest/globals";
import { add, multiply } from "../../../src/utils/math.js";

describe("add", () => {
  it("should return correct sum for positive numbers", () => {
    expect(add(2, 3)).toBe(5);
  });

  it("should handle negative numbers", () => {
    expect(add(-1, 1)).toBe(0);
  });

  it("should handle zero values", () => {
    expect(add(0, 5)).toBe(5);
  });
});

describe("multiply", () => {
  it("should return correct product", () => {
    expect(multiply(3, 4)).toBe(12);
  });

  it("should handle zero multiplication", () => {
    expect(multiply(5, 0)).toBe(0);
  });
});

Async Function Testing

// Generated test for async functions
describe("fetchUserData", () => {
  it("should fetch user data successfully", async () => {
    const mockUser = { id: 1, name: "John" };
    global.fetch = jest.fn().mockResolvedValue({
      ok: true,
      json: jest.fn().mockResolvedValue(mockUser),
    });

    const result = await fetchUserData(1);
    expect(result).toEqual(mockUser);
    expect(fetch).toHaveBeenCalledWith("/api/users/1");
  });
});

React Component Testing

TestGenie automatically detects React components and generates comprehensive tests:

# Generate tests for React component
testgenie gen src/components/UserForm.tsx

# Run React tests with automatic setup
testgenie test --coverage

Generated React test with automatic imports and setup:

import { describe, it, expect, jest, beforeEach } from "@jest/globals";
import React from "react";
import { render, fireEvent, screen } from "@testing-library/react";
import { UserForm } from "../../../src/components/UserForm";

beforeEach(() => {
  jest.clearAllMocks();
  window.alert = jest.fn();
});

describe("UserForm", () => {
  it("should submit form with valid data", () => {
    const onSubmit = jest.fn();
    render(<UserForm onSubmit={onSubmit} />);

    fireEvent.change(screen.getByLabelText("Name:"), {
      target: { value: "John Doe" },
    });
    fireEvent.change(screen.getByLabelText("Email:"), {
      target: { value: "john@example.com" },
    });
    fireEvent.submit(screen.getByRole("button", { name: /Submit/i }));

    expect(onSubmit).toHaveBeenCalledWith({
      name: "John Doe",
      email: "john@example.com",
      age: "",
    });
  });
});

❓ FAQ

Why are my tests not being generated?

Check that the file path is correct and that it's not excluded in exclude patterns in your config. Common issues include:

• File not found: Verify the file path exists and is accessible
• Excluded patterns: Check your testgenie.config.js exclude patterns
• Unsupported file type: Ensure the file has a supported extension (.js, .ts, .jsx, .tsx)
• AI provider issues: Verify your API keys are set correctly for external providers

How do I run tests after generating them?

TestGenie includes a built-in test runner with automatic setup:

# Basic test execution
testgenie test

# With coverage reports
testgenie test --coverage

# Watch mode for development
testgenie test --watch --reporter=verbose

The test command automatically:

• Detects and installs missing Jest dependencies
• Creates optimized Jest configuration
• Sets up React Testing Library for React projects
• Configures TypeScript support when needed

Can I use it with Mocha or Vitest?

Mocha and Vitest support is coming soon! Currently, only Jest is supported. We're actively working on expanding framework support:

• Jest: ✅ Full support
• Mocha: 🚧 Coming soon
• Vitest: 🚧 Coming soon

How do I set up different AI providers?

Each provider requires different setup:

TestGenie API (Recommended):

• No setup required
• Best performance for test generation

OpenAI:

export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key"

Google Gemini:

export GOOGLE_GENERATIVE_AI_API_KEY="your-api-key"

Anthropic Claude:

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-api-key"

What file types are supported?

TestGenie supports:

• JavaScript: .js, .jsx
• TypeScript: .ts, .tsx
• React Components: Both JS and TS
• Node.js modules: CommonJS and ES modules

How can I customize test output?

You can customize tests through your testgenie.config.js:

export default {
  style: "bdd", // or "tdd", "minimal", "verbose"
  testDir: "__tests__", // custom test directory
  output: {
    emojis: true, // enable/disable emojis
    verbose: false, // detailed output
  },
};

Can I generate tests for existing test files?

TestGenie automatically excludes existing test files (.test.js, .spec.js, etc.) to avoid conflicts. If you want to regenerate tests, either:

1. Delete the existing test file first
2. Use a different output directory with --output

How do I handle TypeScript configurations?

TestGenie automatically detects TypeScript projects and generates appropriate tests. Ensure you have:

npm install --save-dev @types/jest ts-jest

Your jest.config.js should include:

export default {
  preset: "ts-jest",
  testEnvironment: "node",
};

What's the difference between test styles?

• BDD: Descriptive, nested describe/it blocks
• TDD: Traditional test/suite structure
• Minimal: Concise, straightforward tests
• Verbose: Detailed with extensive comments

How accurate are the generated tests?

TestGenie uses advanced AI models specifically trained for test generation with enhanced behavioral analysis. The AI provides production-ready tests by:

Code Analysis:

• Analyzes your code structure, dependencies, and logic flow
• Understands React component validation and form behavior
• Traces async function execution and Promise handling
• Detects DOM interactions and browser API usage

Test Quality:

• Generates realistic test scenarios that match actual code behavior
• Includes comprehensive edge cases and error handling
• Follows testing best practices and framework conventions
• Creates proper mocks for FormData, console methods, and DOM elements

React & Async Expertise:

• Automatically imports React and React Testing Library for JSX components
• Handles form validation logic and user interaction flows
• Properly mocks browser APIs (window.alert, console.error)
• Understands Promise timing and rejection conditions

While tests are comprehensive and thoroughly analyzed, always review them before committing to ensure they meet your specific requirements.
