Testing

What Changed

Released v1.3.0 of my Elixir Phoenix Guide plugin. This one is all about testing.

v1.2.0 built out four skills that cover Elixir patterns, LiveView, Ecto, and file uploads. What I didn’t have was anything for tests. You could open a _test.exs file and the plugin had nothing to say. That felt like a hole worth fixing.

The Problem with v1.2.0

The four skills worked well for production code but testing was just not covered. Claude Code would write a context module following strict patterns, then write the tests with no real guidance. The result was inconsistent test setup, missing edge cases, and assertion styles that made failures hard to read.

Tests and Coverage

Getting started on my project I wanted to make sure I had a solid foundation in place. One of the first things I wanted to do was setup test coverage to maintain confidence in my code.
