Find Untested Sources

Purpose

Which source files have no test file referencing any of their declared types/symbols?

Two engines — pick one

When to Use

• User asks "where should I add tests?", "which files have no tests?", "find untested code", "give me a test gap list", "what's the next file to test".
• Before invoking a test-generation agent, to produce a prioritized worklist.
• After generating tests, to verify each new test file pairs to a source file.
• To enumerate "weakly paired" source files (only one referring test) for follow-up depth checks.

When Not to Use

• Line/branch coverage — use coverage-analysis.
• CRAP-score / risk hotspots — use coverage-analysis.
• Are existing tests strong? — use test-gap-analysis (mutation reasoning) or assertion-quality.

Roslyn engine (C#)

Prerequisites

• .NET SDK that supports file-based apps (dotnet run script.cs). Pinned in the repo's global.json (SDK 11 preview or later).
• No internet access required beyond the initial NuGet restore of Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp on first run.

Usage

# From the skill folder
dotnet run scripts/Find-UntestedSources.cs -- <repo-root> [--top N]

# Save the report
dotnet run scripts/Find-UntestedSources.cs -- <repo-root> > pairing.json

# Iterate the untested list, highest-API-surface first
$report = Get-Content pairing.json | ConvertFrom-Json
$report.untested | Select-Object -First 10 source, decl_count, suggested_test_path

    ]
  }
}

How it works

1. File discovery — recursive walk pruning bin/, obj/, node_modules/, .git/, .vs/, packages/, and any dotted subdir. Skips generated files (.g.cs, .Designer.cs, .AssemblyInfo.cs).
2. Test vs source classification — walks up to the nearest .csproj and marks it a test project if the project name ends in .Tests, .Test, .UnitTests, .IntegrationTests, .E2E, .EndToEnd, .Spec, .Specs, or the content references Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk, MSTest.Sdk, Microsoft.Testing.Platform, xunit, NUnit, TUnit, or <IsTestProject>true</IsTestProject>.
3. Source index (parallel) — parse each source file with CSharpSyntaxTree.ParseText (syntax only, no compilation); record every BaseTypeDeclarationSyntax / DelegateDeclarationSyntax as (ShortName, EnclosingNamespace, FilePath).
4. Test scan (parallel) — parse each test file, collect using directives + enclosing namespace, walk every IdentifierToken, look it up in the short-name index, and disambiguate strictly: an identifier is attributed only if the declaration's namespace matches one of the test file's using directives, the enclosing namespace, or a prefix of them. This avoids noise where common names like Settings or Context match every project.
5. Pairing & suggestion — invert into source → [tests]. Build a production-to-test project map from <ProjectReference> entries; for each untested source, mirror its in-project relative path under the referencing test project to suggest a path.
6. JSON emit — ordered by declaration count desc, then alphabetical.

Polyglot engine (tree-sitter)

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+.
• pip install tree-sitter-language-pack (single self-contained wheel that bundles parsers for 300+ languages and the high-level process() API). No native build, no per-language grammar install.

Usage

# From the skill folder
python scripts/find_untested_sources.py <repo-root>

# Restrict to a language (repeatable)
python scripts/find_untested_sources.py <repo-root> --lang python --lang typescript

# Truncate the report (top 20 by declared API surface)
python scripts/find_untested_sources.py <repo-root> --limit-untested 20 > pairing.json

# Iterate, highest-API-surface first
$report = Get-Content pairing.json | ConvertFrom-Json
$report.untested_sources | Select-Object -First 10 path, declaration_count, suggested_test_path

How it works

1. File discovery — recursive walk pruning common build/vendor dirs (bin, obj, node_modules, target, dist, build, vendor, __pycache__, .venv, .git, …) and generated files (.d.ts, .g.cs, .Designer.cs, _pb2.py, *.min.js, AssemblyInfo.cs, …).
2. Language detection — detect_language_from_path maps the extension to a supported language; unknown extensions are skipped.
3. Test-vs-source classification — per-language path heuristics:

   Language	Test rule
   Python	path contains tests//test/; or filename starts with test_ or ends _test.py; or conftest.py.
   JS/TS/TSX	path contains __tests__, tests, test, spec, e2e; or filename contains .test./.spec..
   Go	filename ends _test.go.
   Java	path contains test/tests; or filename ends Test.java/Tests.java.
   Rust	path contains tests//benches/.
   C#	path contains tests/; or project segment ends .Tests/.Test/.UnitTests/.IntegrationTests; or filename ends Tests/Test.
   Ruby	path contains spec//test/; or filename ends _spec.rb/_test.rb.

4. Per-file extraction — process(text, ProcessConfig(structure, imports, symbols)) returns declared items, raw import statements, and a flat declared -name list.
5. Pairing — for each test file, union import resolution (per language, e.g. Python from pkg.mod import x → pkg/mod.py; Java import a.b.C; → a/b/C.java; C# using is namespace-not-file, so a no-op) with identifier overlap (word-like tokens, length ≥ 4, matched against declared names).
6. JSON emit — untested_sources ordered by declaration count descending.

Limitations (be honest with the agent)

• Reflection / DI-resolved types referenced only via a string name or container resolution won't be detected — the type's short name never appears in the test source.
• Extension methods invoked as instance methods (C#): the declaring static class is not named, so its file is not credited.
• var, target-typed new(), pattern matching lose the type token; the file-level union usually still catches it through other references.
• Short identifier names (polyglot, < 4 chars) are dropped to avoid noisy pairings on names like id, db, Tag.
• Monorepo path aliases (TS path mapping, Java module-info) are not resolved; a suffix-match fallback may pick the wrong source if two files share a trailing path segment.

Outputs the agent should consume

• untested[*].source / untested_sources[*].path — pick the next source file to test (highest declaration count first).
• *.suggested_test_path — drop-in target for the new test file; the Roslyn engine honors the test project that already <ProjectReference>s the source's project, so dotnet sln add is not needed.
• source_to_tests (Roslyn) / --include-tested tested_sources (polyglot) — verify a newly written test file lands in the list for the intended source.
• orphan_tests (polyglot) — tests that don't reference any same-language source file; useful for triaging stale or integration-only tests.
