Test Fixer

Who Is This For?

Software developers and QA engineers who regularly deal with failing tests in their CI/CD pipelines or local development environments. This skill is particularly valuable for teams maintaining large test suites who need quick, intelligent solutions for test failures without spending hours debugging each issue manually.

What Does It Do?

The Test Fixer skill analyzes failing test outputs and automatically generates targeted fixes or patches to resolve the issues. It examines test failure patterns, stack traces, and surrounding code context to identify root causes and propose specific code changes. The skill can handle various testing frameworks and languages, providing both quick fixes for simple assertions and more complex solutions for timing, state, and integration test failures. It also explains the reasoning behind suggested fixes to help developers understand and validate the proposed changes.

When Should You Use This?

Use this skill when you encounter failing tests in your CI pipeline that are blocking deployments or when local test runs reveal issues that aren't immediately obvious. It's especially useful during large refactoring efforts where multiple tests might break simultaneously, or when dealing with flaky tests that require careful analysis of timing and state conditions. This skill becomes particularly valuable when working with unfamiliar parts of the codebase where the correct fix isn't immediately apparent.
