How to set it up with Cursor
  1. Open your project in Cursor and confirm your test framework runs (for example pytest or Jest).
  2. Select a function or file and ask the agent to write tests covering normal cases, edge cases and errors.
  3. Let it run the test command and fix failures; check that failing tests point to real bugs, not wrong expectations.
  4. Ask what is still untested, and add tests for the riskiest paths.
  5. Review the tests like any code before committing.
