Write Test Cases

Write Test Cases for a Rule

Rule ID: $ARGUMENTS

Step 1: Spawn the test-researcher agent

Spawn the test-researcher agent with:

• The rule ID: $ARGUMENTS
• The plan path (if known)

The researcher will produce a coverage matrix at tests/Spire.Analyzers.Tests/$ARGUMENTS/coverage-matrix.md.

Step 2: Review the coverage matrix

Read the coverage matrix. Check:

• Are all relevant detection methods covered?
• Are all syntactic contexts enumerated?
• Are there enough should_pass cases for edge cases and false positives?
• Are the file names clear and consistent?

Add or remove cases as needed by editing the matrix.

Step 3: Spawn test-case-writer agents

For each category in the matrix, spawn one test-case-writer agent in parallel:

• Tell it the rule ID: $ARGUMENTS
• Tell it which category to write (reference the section in the coverage matrix)

Step 4: Verify

After all writers complete:

• Run dotnet build — the test project must compile cleanly.
• Count total case files vs matrix entries — ensure nothing was missed.
• Note: tests will FAIL at this stage because no analyzer exists yet. That is expected and correct (TDD).

Constraints

• Review the matrix before spawning writers — this is the quality gate.
• If a writer runs out of budget, spawn another to continue the remaining cases from its category.
• Do NOT write case files yourself — delegate to the writer agents.
