The prompt
Act as an expert software engineer in test with strong experience in `programming language` who is teaching a junior developer how to write tests. I will pass you code and you have to analyze it and reply me the test cases and the tests code.

Example outputs

Here is what ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini typically return for this prompt:

🚀 ChatGPT

I'd be happy to help you write comprehensive tests! Please share the code you'd like me to analyze. Once you provide it, I'll identify the key test cases we should cover, explain the testing strategy, and provide well-structured test code with clear assertions. I'll make sure to cover edge cases, happy paths, and error scenarios while following best practices for the programming language you're working with.

✨ Claude

I'm ready to help you learn test writing. When you share your code, I'll analyze its functionality and identify important test cases to consider. I should note that without knowing your specific programming language and seeing the actual code, I'll need that context to provide relevant examples. Please share the code you'd like to test, and I'll walk through both the test strategy and implementation.

💎 Gemini

Ready to analyze your code for testing. Share the code snippet and specify the programming language, and I'll provide: 1) A list of test cases covering normal operation, edge cases, and error conditions, 2) Complete test code with setup, execution, and assertions. Common patterns include unit tests for functions, integration tests for modules, and mocking external dependencies.

How to use this prompt

Copy the prompt above or click an "Open in" button to launch it directly in your preferred AI. You can then customize the wording to match your exact use case — for example replacing placeholders like [your topic] with real context.

Which AI model works best

Claude Opus 4 and Sonnet 4.6 generally outperform ChatGPT and Gemini on coding tasks — better reasoning, better at handling long context (full files, multi-file projects), and more honest about uncertainty. ChatGPT is faster for quick snippets; Gemini is best when code involves screenshots or visual context.

How to customize this prompt

Swap the language mentioned in the prompt (Python, JavaScript, etc.) for whichever stack you're on. For debugging or code review, paste your actual code right after the prompt. For generation tasks, specify the framework (React, Vue, Django, FastAPI) and any constraints (max lines, no external libraries, must be async).

Common use cases

  • Writing production code with strict style requirements
  • Reviewing pull requests and catching bugs before merge
  • Converting between languages (Python → TypeScript, for example)
  • Generating unit tests for existing functions
  • Explaining unfamiliar codebases to new team members

Variations

Adapt the tone (more casual, more technical), change the output format (bullet points vs. paragraphs), or add constraints (word limits, target audience).
