About
Bats Testing Patterns provides a robust methodology and set of implementation patterns for writing, organizing, and executing unit tests for shell scripts. By leveraging the Bash Automated Testing System (Bats), this skill enables developers to apply test-driven development (TDD) to shell utilities, automate CI/CD pipeline validations, and handle complex scenarios such as mocking external commands and managing environment-specific fixtures. It ensures that shell scripts are production-grade, maintainable, and reliable across various shell dialects including bash, sh, and dash.
