Why Cursor for Test Generation?

Cursor offers unique advantages for AI-powered test generation that set it apart from web-based or command-line AI tools:

• Integrated Terminal - Run tests immediately in the same environment where they’re generated
• TDD Workflow - Generate → Run → Fix → Repeat without context switching
• Git-Aware - Target changed files, branches, and PRs automatically
• Watch Mode - Continuous feedback loop for rapid iteration
• Background Jobs - Run coverage while you continue working
• Inline Editing - Fix failing tests right in the editor with Cmd+K
• Agent Mode - Autonomous multi-file test suite generation with Cmd+.

This playbook is optimized for Cursor’s integrated development environment. All templates include explicit output paths and execution commands for immediate use.
