Jimmc414 Claude Code Plugin Marketplace Test With Examples

test-with-examples

When to Use

• Clear, discrete input/output relationships
• Examples serve as specification
• Teaching or documenting behavior
• Regression testing

When NOT to Use

• Behavior too complex for examples
• Need property-based testing
• Examples would be exhaustive

The Pattern

Write tests as lists of (input, expected_output) pairs.

# Test cases as data
tests = [
    (input1, expected1),
    (input2, expected2),
    (input3, expected3),
]

def run_tests(func, tests):
    """Run function on test cases."""
    for inp, expected in tests:
        result = func(inp)
        assert result == expected, f"{func.__name__}({inp}) = {result}, expected {expected}"
    print(f"All {len(tests)} tests pass.")

# Cryptarithmetic.ipynb - solver test examples
for solver in (solve, faster_solve):
    assert "1 + 2 = 3" in set(solver("A + B = C"))
    assert not set(solver("A + B = CDE"))  # No solution
    assert set(solver("A * B = CA")) == {
        '5 * 3 = 15', '5 * 7 = 35', '4 * 6 = 24',
        '8 * 6 = 48', '2 * 6 = 12', '5 * 9 = 45'
    }

Key Principles

1. Examples as spec: Tests define expected behavior
2. Comments explain: Brief note on what each tests
3. Cover edge cases: Empty, zero, negative, boundary
4. Expected first or last: Consistent (input, expected) order
5. Readable assertions: assert result == expected, message
