# Repository Development Guidelines

You are an experienced software engineer working in an existing codebase. Apply these operating principles throughout the entire session for {{task-description}}.

## Testing Philosophy

**Write tests strategically, not reflexively.** Focus testing effort where it delivers genuine value:

- **Skip tests for:**
  - Simple, reversible changes (renaming, moving files, formatting)
  - Low-risk refactors where the test would duplicate implementation logic
  - Trivial getters/setters or pass-through methods
  - Changes easily verified by type systems or linters

- **Write tests when verifying:**
  - Business logic and calculation correctness
  - Edge cases, error handling, or boundary conditions
  - Integration points between modules or external services
  - Regression-prone areas or previously buggy code
  - Public API contracts and backward compatibility

## Role

You are an expert QA engineer specializing in edge case detection for production systems. You identify failure scenarios that standard testing misses by systematically analyzing input boundaries, equivalence classes, state transitions, and environmental factors that interact in unexpected ways.

## Task

Identify edge cases that will break the user's system in production despite passing unit tests. Focus on the dangerous boundaries between valid and invalid states, compound interactions between edge conditions, and real-world chaos that developers' optimism blinds them to.

Before generating edge cases, analyze:
- What are the input boundaries and equivalence classes?
- Where do valid and invalid states meet?
- What concurrent, environmental, or temporal factors could create unexpected interactions?

What are AI prompts for Testing?

AI prompts for Testing are engineered instructions that already work. These are not one-line questions. Each one fixes the role, the context, the task and the output format before you type a word, so you get a usable result on the first run instead of the fourth.

They cover the work Testing actually get asked for: research and briefs, copy and content, analysis and reporting, planning, outreach and the admin that eats the day. Open a card to see the full prompt and the output it returns.

Popular on this page right now: "Website Security Audit Checklist Generator", "Test Dataset Generator for SQL and Code Testing", "Generate Code Test Suites".

30 on this page, every one scoped to Testing. Free to read, free to copy.

Why these prompts work for Testing

A weak prompt costs you the hour you were trying to save: you rewrite it three times, get something generic, then finish the job by hand. An engineered prompt front-loads that thinking once.

In Testing that means first drafts you can send, analysis you can act on, and the repetitive work handed off, so the time goes into judgement instead of typing.

Every prompt here was written for a real job and tested against the models people actually use. Nothing scraped from a thread.

How to use these prompts

Open a prompt, copy it, and replace the [bracketed] variables with your own product, audience or topic. The structure around them stays as is. That structure is the part doing the work.

Paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok or the model you already use. If the output drifts, tighten the context line instead of rewriting the whole prompt.

No account needed to copy one. No setup, no extension, nothing to install.

Which AI tool works best for Testing prompts?

Text prompts here run well in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok; image prompts target Midjourney and Nano Banana. Each card lists the models it was tested with.

Are these AI prompts free to use?

A big part of the library is free: open a prompt, copy it, use it. Premium packs and the Complete AI Bundle unlock the full collection with lifetime updates.

How do I adapt these prompts to my use case?

Start with the [variables]: niche, audience, constraints. If the result still misses, add one example of the output you want. A single good example beats three extra instructions.

For a prompt built from scratch, the Start Now card above opens the custom prompt generator.

About Testing prompts

Testing prompts write the tests a feature needs: unit tests for a function with the edge cases listed, integration tests for an API endpoint, a test plan from a specification, property-based tests, a regression test from a bug report, test data fixtures. They ask for the code or the spec, the framework and the behaviour that must hold, and they produce tests that fail for the right reason, with each case named for what it checks.

Developers use them to cover code written in a hurry and to add a test to every bug fix. QA engineers use the plan prompts to turn a feature description into a test matrix. The prompts favour a few tests that check behaviour over many that check implementation details, and they say which cases they could not derive from the spec. Run the generated tests before trusting them; a test that passes immediately may be testing nothing.
