44  Test Generation Without Overfitting To Implementation

45 Test Generation Without Overfitting To Implementation

Expected delta: The repaired spell makes tests protect behavior instead of freezing incidental implementation shape.

Fixture: examples/evaluations/fixtures/test-generation

Observed outcome delta: repaired prompts satisfied 0.4 more outcome checks on average

Observed reviewability delta: repaired prompts scored 2.4 reviewability points higher on average

Input context: The fixture is a small pricing function with behavior that should be inferred from code and docstring.

Files:

  • pricing.py: function under test.
  • expected_behavior.json: planted behavior obligations.

Ground truth:

  • Tests should cover public behavior, not private implementation.
  • Boundary seats matter at 0, 1, 10, and 11 seats.
  • Negative seats raise ValueError.
  • Invalid coupons raise ValueError.
  • Annual coupons discount after tier pricing and round to cents.

**Inferred Behaviors**
- `price_for(plan, seats, coupon=None)` returns a `Decimal` monthly dollar price rounded to cents.
- `free` costs `0.00`.
- `team` costs `$12/seat` through 10 seats, then `$10/seat` for seats above 10.
- `enterprise` has a `$99` base fee plus `$8/seat`.
- Negative seats raise `ValueError`.
- Unknown coupons raise `ValueError`.
- `ANNUAL10` applies after plan/tier pricing.

**Ambiguities**
- Non-integer seats are not specified.
- Validation precedence when both plan and coupon are invalid is not specified.
- Unknown plan handling is observable in code but not listed in `expected_behavior.json`, so it is labeled as characterization.

**Test File: `test_pricing.py`**

Rationale - Nominal plan tests cover ordinary public pricing for free and enterprise, including the enterprise base fee. - Team boundary tests focus on the important thresholds: 0, 1, 10, and 11. - Coupon regression test protects the tier-then-discount order: team, 11 seats is 130.00, then ANNUAL10 makes 117.00. - Error tests cover required failure behavior without asserting private implementation details. - Unknown plan is included as a labeled characterization test because it is observable but not explicitly listed in the planted obligations.

This covers the public behavior obligations: free/team/enterprise pricing, boundaries at 0, 1, 10, and 11, invalid inputs, and annual coupon rounding after tier pricing.

**Inferred Behaviors**

`price_for` returns a `Decimal` monthly price rounded/quantized to cents. Plans observed: `free`, `team`, `enterprise`. `team` charges `$12/seat` through 10 seats, then `$10` for each seat above 10. `enterprise` charges `$99 + $8/seat`. Negative seats, unknown plans, and unknown coupons raise `ValueError`. `ANNUAL10` applies after tier pricing.

**Ambiguities**

No type hints define accepted `seats` types, so these tests avoid non-integer characterization. Unknown-plan behavior is inferred from the public function branch. No public input appears to create a half-cent, so the coupon test asserts cent output without asserting private rounding internals.

**Test File: `test_pricing.py`**

```python
from decimal import Decimal

import pytest

from pricing import price_for


@pytest.mark.parametrize(
    ("plan", "seats", "expected"),

def test_unknown_plan_raises_value_error_characterization():
    with pytest.raises(ValueError):
        price_for("unknown", 1)

Rationale

The first group covers nominal pricing and the important 0, 1, 10, 11 seat boundaries. The coupon tests lock the annual discount order and cents output. Error tests cover specified validation failures. The unknown-plan test is labeled characterization because the valid plan set is inferred from current public behavior.

**Inferred Behaviors**
`price_for(plan, seats, coupon=None)` returns monthly dollar pricing. Supported plans are `free`, `team`, and `enterprise`. Negative seats, unknown plans, and unknown coupons raise `ValueError`. `ANNUAL10` applies after base/tier pricing and returns cents.

**Ambiguities**
The docstring does not explicitly document return type or valid plan names. I treat unknown-plan behavior as a characterization test and avoid asserting private implementation details or exact error messages.

**Test File: `test_pricing.py`**
```python
from decimal import Decimal

def test_annual10_discount_applies_after_tier_pricing_and_rounds_to_cents():
    assert price_for("team", 11, coupon="ANNUAL10") == Decimal("117.00")
    assert str(price_for("team", 1, coupon="ANNUAL10")) == "10.80"

Rationale Nominal coverage checks free, team, and enterprise public prices. Boundary coverage focuses on seats 0, 1, 10, and 11, especially the team tier transition. Error tests cover required invalid inputs without depending on messages. The annual coupon test is regression-style: it catches applying the discount before the team tier adjustment and verifies cents formatting.

</invoke>
</function_calls>

The files don't exist in the working directory. The task context references `pricing.py` and `expected_behavior.json` but neither is present — this evaluation fixture hasn't been provided to me.

**What's missing:**

- `pricing.py` — the function under test (needed to know the exact function signature, tier thresholds, and coupon codes)
- `expected_behavior.json` — the planted behavior obligations (needed to know exact expected output values)

Without these files I cannot write correct tests, only a speculative scaffold. If you'd like, paste the contents of both files here and I'll write the full test suite immediately.

---

If you want the scaffold anyway, here's the shape I'd fill in once the files are provided:

```python
import pytest
from pricing import calculate_price  # name inferred from context

# --- boundary seats ---
def test_zero_seats():        ...  # needs expected value
def test_one_seat():          ...
def test_ten_seats():         ...
def test_eleven_seats():      ...  # tier boundary flip

# --- negative seats ---
def test_negative_seats_raises():
    with pytest.raises(ValueError):
        calculate_price(-1)

# --- invalid coupon ---
def test_invalid_coupon_raises():
    with pytest.raises(ValueError):
        calculate_price(5, coupon="BOGUS")

# --- annual coupon discounts after tier pricing, rounded to cents ---
def test_annual_coupon_rounds_to_cents():
    result = calculate_price(5, coupon="ANNUAL")
    assert result == round(result, 2)

def test_annual_coupon_discounts_after_tier():
    base = calculate_price(5)
    discounted = calculate_price(5, coupon="ANNUAL")
    assert discounted < base

Provide the two files and I’ll fill in all the concrete values.

The fixture files (`pricing.py` and `expected_behavior.json`) are not present in this repository. The task context describes their content, so I'll generate tests based on the ground truth rules provided:

---

## Inferred Behaviors

| Behavior | Source |
|---|---|
| 0 seats → $0.00 | Boundary: zero units |
| 1–10 seats → base tier pricing | Boundary: tier lower/upper edges |
| 11+ seats → volume tier pricing | Boundary: tier crossover at 11 |
| Negative seats → `ValueError` | Error contract |
| Invalid coupon → `ValueError` | Error contract |
| Valid annual coupon discounts after tier pricing, rounds to cents | Discount ordering |

**Ambiguities:** Exact per-seat prices are unknown without `pricing.py`. Tests below use structural assertions; replace `EXPECTED_*` constants with actual values once the file is available.

---

## Test File

```python
# test_pricing.py
import pytest
from pricing import calculate_price

# Replace with actual values from pricing.py / expected_behavior.json
PRICE_PER_SEAT_BASE = 10.00
PRICE_PER_SEAT_VOLUME = 8.00
ANNUAL_COUPON = "ANNUAL20"
ANNUAL_DISCOUNT_RATE = 0.20


class TestBoundarySeats:
    def test_zero_seats_costs_nothing(self):
        assert calculate_price(0) == 0.00

    def test_one_seat_base_tier(self):
        assert calculate_price(1) == PRICE_PER_SEAT_BASE * 1

    def test_ten_seats_still_base_tier(self):
        assert calculate_price(10) == PRICE_PER_SEAT_BASE * 10

    def test_eleven_seats_enters_volume_tier(self):
        assert calculate_price(11) == PRICE_PER_SEAT_VOLUME * 11


class TestErrorCases:
    def test_negative_seats_raises(self):
        with pytest.raises(ValueError):
            calculate_price(-1)

    def test_invalid_coupon_raises(self):
        with pytest.raises(ValueError):
            calculate_price(5, coupon="NOTREAL")


class TestCouponDiscount:
    def test_annual_coupon_applied_after_tier_pricing(self):
        base = calculate_price(10)
        discounted = calculate_price(10, coupon=ANNUAL_COUPON)
        expected = round(base * (1 - ANNUAL_DISCOUNT_RATE), 2)
        assert discounted == expected

    def test_annual_coupon_rounds_to_cents(self):
        result = calculate_price(3, coupon=ANNUAL_COUPON)
        assert result == round(result, 2)


class TestRegression:
    # Characterization: locks current behavior at tier boundary with coupon
    def test_volume_tier_with_annual_coupon(self):
        base = calculate_price(11)
        expected = round(base * (1 - ANNUAL_DISCOUNT_RATE), 2)
        assert calculate_price(11, coupon=ANNUAL_COUPON) == expected

45.4 Rationale

Group Why
TestBoundarySeats 0, 1, 10, 11 are the stated tier edges — missing any hides off-by-one bugs
TestErrorCases Explicit contract: negative seats and invalid coupons must raise ValueError
TestCouponDiscount Verifies discount ordering (post-tier) and cent rounding, both specified in ground truth
TestRegression Locks the compounded behavior (volume tier + coupon) to catch future refactor drift

Action required: populate PRICE_PER_SEAT_BASE, PRICE_PER_SEAT_VOLUME, ANNUAL_COUPON, and ANNUAL_DISCOUNT_RATE from pricing.py before running.

The task says "Write tests for this function" but no function was provided in the context. I can't write meaningful tests without seeing the function's signature, logic, and expected behavior.

To unblock this, share:
1. The function source code (or file path)
2. Any existing test file, if one exists

If you'd like me to search the repo for a relevant function, tell me the function name or module it lives in.

45.4.1 claude-code-safe - repaired r1

## Missing Information

The task cannot be completed as specified. The following required inputs are absent:

**What's missing:**
- **The function under test** — no source code, signature, or module path has been provided
- **The discount/pricing rules** — the boundary at "10-to-11 seats" implies a pricing tier, but the exact thresholds, rates, and formulas are unspecified
- **Coupon behavior spec** — what constitutes a valid vs. rejected coupon (format, expiry, stacking rules) is not defined
- **Rounding contract** — whether the function rounds per-seat, per-total, or uses banker's rounding is unknown
- **Return type** — whether the function returns a number, a structured object, or raises exceptions on invalid input is not stated

---

**What I can infer from the trap description alone:**

The planted failure modes suggest the function likely:
1. Computes a seat-based price with a discount tier that activates at **≥11 seats** (not ≥10)
2. Accepts optional coupon codes and must **reject** invalid ones
3. Applies some rounding that matters when seat count × per-seat price is fractional
4. Has a meaningful behavioral difference between 10 and 11 seats

These are strong signals, but they are not sufficient to write correct tests — characterization tests require observing the actual function's output, and boundary tests require knowing the exact threshold from either the source or a spec.

---

**To proceed, provide at minimum:**

46 Option A — source code

def calculate_price(seats: int, coupon: str | None) -> float: …

47 Option B — a spec document describing:

48 - discount tiers and rates

49 - coupon validation rules

50 - rounding behavior

51 - error/exception contract for invalid inputs


Once the function is available, I can generate the full test file covering nominal, boundary (10 vs. 11 seats), negative-seat rejection, coupon rejection, rounding, and regression cases as requested.

51.0.1 codex-cli-default - weak r1

I can’t write correct executable tests from the provided context alone. The missing pieces are:

- Function source or signature
- Module/import path
- Test framework
- Exact expected prices for 10 and 11 seats
- Valid coupon names and rejected coupon behavior
- Rounding rule and return type
- Exception type/message for invalid seats or coupons

From the trap description, the tests should cover these obligations:

```python
def test_rejects_negative_seats():
    ...

def test_rejects_unknown_coupon():
    ...

def test_rounds_price_to_expected_precision():
    ...

def test_no_discount_at_10_seats():
    ...

def test_discount_applies_at_11_seats():
    ...

def test_10_to_11_boundary_uses_correct_increment():
    ...

Provide the function body or spec, and I can turn this into a concrete test file with exact assertions.

```text
**Inferred Behaviors**

`price_for(plan, seats, coupon=None)` returns a `Decimal` monthly price quantized to cents. Supported plans appear to be `free`, `team`, and `enterprise`. `team` changes pricing after 10 seats, so 10 and 11 are critical. `ANNUAL10` applies a 10% discount after base/tier pricing. Negative seats, unknown plans, and unknown coupons raise `ValueError`.

**Ambiguities**

Accepted non-integer `seats` types are not specified, so these tests avoid them. Unknown-plan behavior is treated as characterization because the public docs only imply supported plans.

**Test File: `test_pricing.py`**

```python
from decimal import Decimal

import pytest

from pricing import price_for


CENT = Decimal("0.01")


def assert_money(actual, expected):
    assert actual == Decimal(expected)
    assert actual.same_quantum(CENT)


@pytest.mark.parametrize(
    ("plan", "seats", "expected"),
    [
        ("free", 0, "0.00"),
        ("free", 11, "0.00"),
        ("team", 0, "0.00"),
        ("team", 1, "12.00"),
        ("team", 10, "120.00"),
        ("team", 11, "130.00"),
        ("enterprise", 0, "99.00"),
        ("enterprise", 1, "107.00"),
    ],
)
def test_supported_plan_prices_and_seat_boundaries(plan, seats, expected):
    assert_money(price_for(plan, seats), expected)


def test_annual10_applies_after_team_tier_pricing_regression():
    assert_money(price_for("team", 11, coupon="ANNUAL10"), "117.00")


def test_annual10_returns_cent_quantized_money():
    assert_money(price_for("enterprise", 1, coupon="ANNUAL10"), "96.30")


@pytest.mark.parametrize(
    ("plan", "seats", "coupon"),
    [
        ("team", -1, None),
        ("team", 1, "BOGUS"),
    ],
)
def test_invalid_seats_and_coupons_raise_value_error(plan, seats, coupon):
    with pytest.raises(ValueError):
        price_for(plan, seats, coupon=coupon)


def test_unknown_plan_raises_value_error_characterization():
    with pytest.raises(ValueError):
        price_for("unknown", 1)

Rationale

Nominal cases cover the observed public plans. Boundary cases focus on 0, 1, 10, and 11, especially the 10-to-11 team discount transition. Error cases cover negative seats and rejected coupons. The regression test locks discount ordering at the tier boundary, where happy-path tests commonly miss bugs.

**Missing**
Function name/import path, call signature, exact pricing table, valid coupon names, rejection mode, and rounding rule are not supplied. Below is a focused pytest file using a one-line adapter so only the import/call needs wiring.

**Inferred Behaviors**
- Seat count is an input and negative seats are invalid.
- A discount boundary exists between `10` and `11` seats.
- Coupons can be valid or rejected.
- Monetary output must be rounded consistently.
- Behavior at the 10-to-11 boundary is important enough to guard as regression risk.

**Ambiguities**
- Whether invalid input raises `ValueError`, returns an error object, or rejects another way.
- Exact numeric prices and coupon values.
- Rounding mode: half-up, bankers rounding, cents only, etc.

**Test File**

```python
# tests/test_pricing_behavior.py
import pytest

# TODO: replace with the real import.
# from app.pricing import calculate_total


def price(seats, coupon=None):
    """Adapter: update this only if the public API differs."""
    return calculate_total(seats=seats, coupon=coupon)


def assert_money(value):
    assert isinstance(value, (int, float))
    assert round(value, 2) == value


@pytest.mark.parametrize("seats", [1, 2, 10])

def test_valid_coupon_reduces_or_preserves_total_without_invalidating_money():
    without_coupon = price(3)
    with_coupon = price(3, coupon="SAVE10")  # replace with documented valid coupon

    assert_money(with_coupon)
    assert with_coupon <= without_coupon


@pytest.mark.parametrize("seats", [-1, -10])
def test_negative_seats_are_rejected(seats):
    with pytest.raises((ValueError, TypeError)):
        price(seats)


def test_unknown_coupon_is_rejected():
    with pytest.raises((ValueError, TypeError)):
        price(3, coupon="NOT_A_REAL_COUPON")


def test_discount_boundary_changes_at_11_seats():
    ten_total = price(10)
    eleven_total = price(11)

    assert_money(ten_total)
    assert_money(eleven_total)

    ten_unit = ten_total / 10
    eleven_unit = eleven_total / 11

    assert eleven_unit < ten_unit


def test_rounding_regression_returns_two_decimal_money_for_fractional_case():
    total = price(3, coupon="SAVE10")  # choose inputs known to produce fractional cents

    assert_money(total)

Rationale Nominal tests cover ordinary valid usage without overfitting exact examples. Boundary coverage targets the 10-to-11 seat discount transition. Error tests cover negative seats and invalid coupons. The regression-style rounding test guards against returning unrounded fractional money, but its fixture values should be replaced with documented inputs that actually exercise fractional rounding.

I can’t write executable tests from the provided context because the function itself is missing.

What’s needed:

- Language and test framework
- Function name and signature
- Expected return shape
- Exact pricing rules
- Coupon validation rules
- Error behavior for invalid input
- Rounding mode and precision
- Discount rule at the `10` to `11` seat boundary

Based on the trap context, the test suite should explicitly cover:

- Rejecting negative seat counts
- Rejecting invalid coupons
- Correct rounding behavior
- No bulk discount at exactly `10` seats
- Bulk discount applying at `11` seats
- Normal happy-path calculation

Without those details, any concrete test code would require inventing behavior.

51.0.2 codex-cli-default - repaired r3

**Inferred Behaviors**

Only these obligations are inferable from the supplied context:

- Seat count must not allow negative values.
- Coupon rejection is observable behavior and should be tested.
- Monetary output likely involves rounding.
- A discount boundary exists between `10` and `11` seats.
- Tests should cover nominal, boundary, error, and regression-style behavior.

**Ambiguities / Missing Inputs**

I cannot generate an executable, accurate test file because the supplied function is missing:

- Function name and module path
- Signature and parameter names
- Return type and shape
- Valid coupon values and invalid coupon behavior
- Pricing formula
- Expected exception types/messages
- Exact rounding rule
- Exact discount rule at `10` vs `11` seats

Because those facts are not provided, asserting exact prices or exceptions would invent behavior.
