Cursor AI Practical Examples for System-Tests

🎯 Overview

This guide provides real-world, practical examples of using Cursor AI effectively with the system-tests repository.

🚀 Quick Start Examples

Example 1: Basic System-Tests Questions

# User Query:
# ✅ Good: General questions (auto-handled by always-applied rules)
"How do I run AWS SSI tests?"
"What are the requirements for system-tests?"
"How do I create a new end-to-end weblog?"

Example 2: First-Time Setup

# User Query:
"I'm new to system-tests. How do I get started?"

Example 3: Understanding Scenarios

# User Query:
"What scenarios are available in system-tests?"

🏗️ AWS SSI Development Examples

Example 4: Virtual Machine Registration

# User Query:
"I need to register a new Ubuntu 24 virtual machine for AWS SSI tests"

Example 5: AWS SSI Weblog Creation

# User Query:
"Create a new Node.js weblog provision for AWS SSI tests"

Example 6: AWS SSI Scenario Creation

# User Query:
"I want to create a new AWS SSI scenario for testing crash tracking"

🌐 End-to-End Development Examples

Example 7: New End-to-End Weblog Creation

# User Query:
"Create a new Python Flask weblog for end-to-end testing with database integration"

☸️ Kubernetes Examples

Example 8: K8s Library Injection Setup

# User Query:
"How do I run K8s library injection tests with private registry?"

🎯 Specialized Task Examples

Example 9: Basic Specialized Java Development

# User Query:
@java-endpoint-prompt.mdc

Analyze this test file and create the missing endpoints for Spring Boot:

Framework: spring-boot
Test file: tests/appsec/iast/test_sqli.py

Example 10: Multi-Framework Java Development

# User Query:
@java-endpoint-prompt.mdc

Create the same SQLI endpoint for Vert.x 4 and Jersey

🧪 Test activation

Example 11: Test Activation/Deactivation

# User Query:
"I need to disable the test XYZ for Python versions below 3.8"

🔧 Troubleshooting Examples

Example 12: Test Activation/Deactivation throubleshooting

# User Query:
"Why my test Test_Mongo is not being executed for my python tracer 1.8.9?"

Example 13: AWS SSI Debugging

# User Query:
"My AWS SSI test is failing. why?"

Example 14: Build Issues

# User Query:
"My Java weblog won't compile after adding new endpoints"

💡 Pro Tips and Best Practices

Effective Communication Patterns

# ✅ Good: Specific, contextual requests
"Create Spring Boot endpoints for IAST SQL injection testing based on test_sqli.py"

# ❌ Avoid: Vague requests
"Help me with Java"

# ✅ Good: Include scenario type context
"I'm working on AWS SSI tests and need to register a new VM"

# ❌ Avoid: Missing context
"How do I register something?"
