Abp Testing is an agent skill from abpframework/abp. ABP testing patterns - integration tests over unit tests, GetRequiredService, IDataSeedContributor, Shouldly assertions, AddAlwaysAllowAuthorization, NSubstitute mocking, WithUnitOfWorkAsync. Use when writing or reviewing tests for application services, domain services, or repositories in ABP projects.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Testing & QA, covering Integration testing, Unit testing and Test strategy. The repository describes itself as: Open-source web application framework for ASP.NET Core! Offers an opinionated architecture to build enterprise software solutions with best practices on top of the .NET. Provides… The licence is LGPL-3.0.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a54b599. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are csharp).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
abp.ioFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Abp Testing loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 138 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

ABP recommends integration tests over unit tests:
public class BookAppService_Tests : MyProjectApplicationTestBase
{
private readonly IBookAppService _bookAppService;
public BookAppService_Tests()
{
_bookAppService = GetRequiredService<IBookAppService>();
}
[Fact]
public async Task Should_Get_List_Of_Books()
{
// Act
var result = await _bookAppService.GetListAsync(
new PagedAndSortedResultRequestDto()
);
// Assert
result.TotalCount.ShouldBeGreaterThan(0);
result.Items.ShouldContain(b => b.Name == "Test Book");
}
[Fact]
public async Task Should_Create_Book()
{
// Arrange
var input = new CreateBookDto
{
Name = "New Book",
Price = 19.99m
};
// Act
var result = await _bookAppService.CreateAsync(input);
// Assert
result.Id.ShouldNotBe(Guid.Empty);
result.Name.ShouldBe("New Book");
result.Price.ShouldBe(19.99m);
}
[Fact]
public async Task Should_Not_Create_Book_With_Invalid_Name()
{
// Arrange
var input = new CreateBookDto
{
Name = "", // Invalid
Price = 10m
};
// Act & Assert
await Should.ThrowAsync<AbpValidationException>(async () =>
{
await _bookAppService.CreateAsync(input);
});
}
}public class BookManager_Tests : MyProjectDomainTestBase
{
private readonly BookManager _bookManager;
private readonly IBookRepository _bookRepository;
public BookManager_Tests()
{
_bookManager = GetRequiredService<BookManager>();
_bookRepository = GetRequiredService<IBookRepository>();
}
[Fact]
public async Task Should_Create_Book()
{
// Act
var book = await _bookManager.CreateAsync("Test Book", 29.99m);
// Assert
book.ShouldNotBeNull();
book.Name.ShouldBe("Test Book");
book.Price.ShouldBe(29.99m);
}
[Fact]
public async Task Should_Not_Allow_Duplicate_Book_Name()
{
// Arrange
await _bookManager.CreateAsync("Existing Book", 10m);
// Act & Assert
var exception = await Should.ThrowAsync<BusinessException>(async () =>
{
await _bookManager.CreateAsync("Existing Book", 20m);
});
exception.Code.ShouldBe("MyProject:BookNameAlreadyExists");
}
}Use descriptive names:
// Pattern: Should_ExpectedBehavior_When_Condition
public async Task Should_Create_Book_When_Input_Is_Valid()
public async Task Should_Throw_BusinessException_When_Name_Already_Exists()
public async Task Should_Return_Empty_List_When_No_Books_Exist()[Fact]
public async Task Should_Update_Book_Price()
{
// Arrange
var bookId = await CreateTestBookAsync();
var newPrice = 39.99m;
// Act
var result = await _bookAppService.UpdateAsync(bookId, new UpdateBookDto
{
Price = newPrice
});
// Assert
result.Price.ShouldBe(newPrice);
}ABP uses Shouldly library:
result.ShouldNotBeNull();
result.Name.ShouldBe("Expected Name");
result.Price.ShouldBeGreaterThan(0);
result.Items.ShouldContain(x => x.Id == expectedId);
result.Items.ShouldBeEmpty();
result.Items.Count.ShouldBe(5);
// Exception assertions
await Should.ThrowAsync<BusinessException>(async () =>
{
await _service.DoSomethingAsync();
});
var ex = await Should.ThrowAsync<BusinessException>(async () =>
{
await _service.DoSomethingAsync();
});
ex.Code.ShouldBe("MyProject:ErrorCode");public class MyProjectTestDataSeedContributor : IDataSeedContributor, ITransientDependency
{
public static readonly Guid TestBookId = Guid.Parse("...");
private readonly IBookRepository _bookRepository;
private readonly IGuidGenerator _guidGenerator;
public async Task SeedAsync(DataSeedContext context)
{
await _bookRepository.InsertAsync(
new Book(TestBookId, "Test Book", 19.99m, Guid.Empty),
autoSave: true
);
}
}public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
{
context.Services.AddAlwaysAllowAuthorization();
}Use NSubstitute when needed:
public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
{
var emailSender = Substitute.For<IEmailSender>();
emailSender.SendAsync(Arg.Any<string>(), Arg.Any<string>(), Arg.Any<string>())
.Returns(Task.CompletedTask);
context.Services.AddSingleton(emailSender);
}[Fact]
public async Task Should_Get_Current_User_Books()
{
// Login as specific user
await WithUnitOfWorkAsync(async () =>
{
using (CurrentUser.Change(TestData.UserId))
{
var result = await _bookAppService.GetMyBooksAsync();
result.Items.ShouldAllBe(b => b.CreatorId == TestData.UserId);
}
});
}[Fact]
public async Task Should_Filter_Books_By_Tenant()
{
using (CurrentTenant.Change(TestData.TenantId))
{
var result = await _bookAppService.GetListAsync(new GetBookListDto());
// Results should be filtered by tenant

Abp Testing fits situations like: reviewing tests for application services; domain services; repositories in ABP projects.
Run `npx skills add abpframework/abp --skill abp-testing -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/abp-testing in abpframework/abp) into .claude/skills/abp-testing in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add abpframework/abp --skill abp-testing -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/abp-testing in abpframework/abp) into .agents/skills/abp-testing in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add abpframework/abp --skill abp-testing -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/abp-testing, .gemini/skills/abp-testing, .github/skills/abp-testing and .opencode/skills/abp-testing in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Abp Testing is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md names 1 domain. As links in the text: abp.io. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Abp Testing is published under the LGPL-3.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.7k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 6.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
