Strengthen Software Reliability with This ChatGPT Prompt for Generating Unit and Automated Test Cases

What This Prompt Does

  • Produces well-structured unit tests that cover expected behavior, boundary conditions, and common security risks such as SQL injection and credential misuse.
  • Generates a suite of automated test cases for end-to-end testing of core e-commerce functionality like cart handling, promo code validation, and payment workflows.
  • Adheres to industry-standard testing practices using popular testing frameworks (e.g., Jest, Pytest, JUnit, Mocha).
  • Supports defensive programming and early bug detection, improving software quality before release.

Tips

  • Specify the testing framework and language you are using (e.g., JavaScript with Jest, Python with Pytest, Java with JUnit) for accurate and executable code generation.
  • When testing security-sensitive features like login, include additional edge cases (e.g., credential brute-force attempts, SQL injection payloads, XSS).
  • For automated test generation, indicate whether you are testing frontend (UI), backend (API), or full-stack workflows.
  • Ask for test data sets, mock services, or fixture files to simulate real-world conditions.
  • Consider requesting integration with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) to automate test execution and reporting.

Prompt

"Write unit tests for a login feature with edge cases for invalid credentials and SQL injection."
"Generate a set of automated test cases for an e-commerce checkout system."

How To Use The Prompt

Use this prompt during the testing and QA stage of your software development lifecycle to ensure code correctness and system robustness. Fill in:

  • [FEATURE TO TEST]: e.g., login form, checkout flow, search bar, file upload
  • [TEST TYPE]: unit test, integration test, end-to-end test
  • [LANGUAGE & FRAMEWORK]: e.g., Python + Pytest, JS + Mocha, Java + JUnit
  • [SECURITY CASES]: SQL injection, XSS, invalid inputs, session hijacking
  • [TEST DATA SCOPE]: valid/invalid inputs, edge values, malformed requests

 

Example:
 "Feature to test: Checkout system with promo codes and multiple payment options; Test type: Automated integration tests; Language: JavaScript; Framework: Cypress; Security cases: invalid coupon injection, bypassing cart rules; Test data: sample users, cart items, and payment tokens."

Example Input

#INFORMATION ABOUT MY TESTING NEEDS:

  1. Unit testing: I need Python (Pytest) tests for a login system that handles valid credentials, incorrect passwords, empty fields, and potential SQL injection attacks in the username field.

  2. Automated testing: I want a full test suite for an e-commerce checkout system, including cart validation, discount application, shipping option selection, and checkout with Stripe or PayPal.

Test integration: Please format the tests so they can be used in a CI pipeline with GitHub Actions and include a test report summary.
 Prompt strategy goal: Generate reliable test cases that help detect edge cases, enforce security, and streamline regression testing.

Example Output
