Skill Metadata

Name
"typo3-testing"
Description
"Use when setting up TYPO3 extension test infrastructure, writing unit/functional/E2E tests, configuring PHPUnit 11/12/13, mutation testing, mocking final classes (v14), CI/CD matrix across TYPO3 12/13/14.3 LTS, dev-dependency consolidation via typo3-ci-workflows meta-package, or debugging CI failures. Also triggers on: testing-framework setup, ensure proper testing, test matrix, integration testing, e2e testing, coverage, test generation."

TYPO3 Testing Skill

Assessment-First Rule

When enhancing an existing test suite (not setting up from scratch), run FIRST:

automated-assessment typo3-testing

Install additional skills (e.g. typo3-conformance, enterprise-readiness) for broader assessment coverage.

This generates a gap report from 73+ checkpoints covering PHPUnit config, PHPStan level, runTests.sh, CaptainHook hooks, architecture tests, mutation thresholds, CI matrix, and coverage per class.

Use the assessment report as the task list. Resolve mechanical checkpoint failures before manual test writing.

When This Rule Applies

  • "enhance/improve/strengthen tests", "increase coverage/mutation score"
  • "enterprise grade", "A+ testing", "fix all findings"

When This Rule Does NOT Apply

  • Setting up from scratch, writing a specific test, debugging a failing test

Test Type Selection

| Type | Use When | Speed | |------|----------|-------| | Unit | Pure logic, no DB, validators, utilities | Fast | | Functional | DB interactions, repositories, controllers | Medium | | Architecture | Layer constraints, dependency rules (phpat) | Fast | | E2E (Playwright) | User workflows, browser, accessibility | Slow | | Integration | HTTP client, API mocking, OAuth flows | Medium | | Mutation | Test quality verification, 70%+ coverage | CI/Release |

runTests.sh - Mandatory

Build/Scripts/runTests.sh is mandatory. Must be executable, support -s (suite) and -p (PHP version).

Git Hooks

Netresearch default: Build/captainhook.json (declared in composer.json extra.captainhook.config). Verify: ls Build/captainhook.json .git/hooks/pre-commit 2>/dev/null (see references/captainhook-setup.md).

Commands

# Setup (from skill dir)
scripts/setup-testing.sh [--with-e2e]
scripts/validate-setup.sh
scripts/generate-test.sh <Type> <Class>

# Run (always via runTests.sh)
Build/Scripts/runTests.sh -s unit|functional|phpstan|cgl|mutation|ci

Verify tests fail before fix, pass after. Bug fixes use the strict TDD loop in references/tdd-discipline.md — no "tested/verified" claims without pasted output.

Scoring Requirements

Unit tests required (70%+ coverage). Functional tests required for DB operations. phpat required for architecture points. PHPStan level 10.
