# Contract Test Creator

## Overview

This skill provides automated assistance for contract test creator tasks within the Test Automation domain.

## When to Use

This skill activates automatically when you:
- Mention "contract test creator" in your request
- Ask about contract test creator patterns or best practices
- Need help with test automation skills covering unit testing, integration testing, mocking, and test framework configuration.

## Instructions

1. Provides step-by-step guidance for contract test creator
2. Follows industry best practices and patterns
3. Generates production-ready code and configurations
4. Validates outputs against common standards

## Examples

**Example: Basic Usage**
Request: "Help me with contract test creator"
Result: Provides step-by-step guidance and generates appropriate configurations


## Prerequisites

- Relevant development environment configured
- Access to necessary tools and services
- Basic understanding of test automation concepts


## Output

- Generated configurations and code
- Best practice recommendations
- Validation results


## Error Handling

| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| Configuration invalid | Missing required fields | Check documentation for required parameters |
| Tool not found | Dependency not installed | Install required tools per prerequisites |
| Permission denied | Insufficient access | Verify credentials and permissions |

Overview

This skill automates creation and guidance for contract tests within Test Automation. It helps design, generate, and validate contract test code and configurations that align with industry patterns. Use it to streamline consumer-provider contract workflows and produce production-ready artifacts.

How this skill works

The skill inspects your request for contract-test-related intent and activates automatically when triggered by phrases like "contract test creator" or "contract creator." It produces step-by-step guidance, sample code, test configurations, and validation checks against common standards. It can recommend frameworks, mocking strategies, and CI integration guidance tailored to your stack.

When to use it

  • When you need to create consumer-provider contract tests quickly
  • When establishing or enforcing API contracts between teams
  • When generating test scaffold, mocks, or configuration for CI pipelines
  • When validating existing contract tests against best practices
  • When learning contract testing patterns or migrating to pact-like workflows

Best practices

  • Define clear consumer and provider responsibilities before authoring contracts
  • Keep contracts small and focused on observable behavior, not implementation details
  • Automate contract verification in CI to catch integration regressions early
  • Version and store contracts in source control or a contract registry
  • Mock only what external systems provide and run provider verification with realistic test data

Example use cases

  • Generate a pact-style consumer test suite for a Python service with pytest
  • Create provider verification scripts and sample provider state setup
  • Produce CI pipeline snippets that run contract verification on merge
  • Recommend mocking and stubbing strategies for third-party APIs during unit tests
  • Validate an existing contract file and highlight breaking changes

FAQ

What languages and frameworks does this support?

I provide guidance and code samples for common ecosystems (Python/pytest, JavaScript/Jest, Pact frameworks). Tell me your stack and I will tailor outputs accordingly.

How does validation work?

Validation checks generated contracts against common formatting and semantic rules, flags missing fields, and suggests provider verification steps. For runtime verification you must run tests in your environment with required tools installed.
