test-strategy

Plans risk-based test coverage for a feature, service, release, or system by mapping user and business risk to test levels, environments, data, failure paths, automation, exploratory checks, and release gates. Use when choosing what to test or how much evidence is enough. Not for writing one test case, applying TDD to a single behavior, or debugging a failing test.

Test Strategy

Coverage is a means; risk and failure detection are the decision criteria.

Strategy loop

  1. Identify critical user journeys, assets, contracts, dependencies, and recent change areas.
  2. Score impact and likelihood; include data loss, privacy, money, access, safety, operational, and reputation failure modes.
  3. Map each high-risk item to the cheapest test level that reaches the real failure: unit, contract, integration, component, browser, load, security, exploratory, or production monitoring.
  4. Define fixtures, environment parity, deterministic data, test ownership, test oracle, and cleanup.
  5. Set release gates and explicit exclusions. Include negative, boundary, retry, concurrency, migration, accessibility, and recovery paths when risk warrants them.
  6. Reassess after incidents, architecture changes, dependency changes, and high-churn releases.

Choose specialized test modes

  • Use exploratory charters when risks or failure shapes are not understood; time-box the session, record observations, then convert repeatable discoveries into automated checks.
  • Use contract tests at independently deployed consumer/provider seams; verify compatibility before deployment rather than duplicating implementation tests on both sides.
  • Classify flaky tests by product race, test race, data, environment, dependency, resource contention, or selector drift. Quarantine only with an owner, evidence, expiry, and a still-visible signal; retries are not a fix.
  • Use production tests only with non-destructive synthetic identities, blast-radius controls, monitoring, cleanup, and a tested abort path.
  • Use agent evaluation for stochastic model-backed behavior; ordinary pass rates and snapshots do not capture variance, tool trajectory, cost, or grounding.

Read risk-matrix.md and specialized-modes.md. Avoid a universal coverage percentage, brittle snapshots with no oracle, and tests that pass only because they mock the behavior under test.

Completion condition

The strategy connects risk to an executable check, names ownership and test data, defines release gates, and makes untested risk visible.

Designs or reviews HTTP, REST, GraphQL, RPC, CLI, webhook, event, and service interfaces with explicit inputs, outputs, errors, compatibility, idempotency, pagination, authentication, versioning, and observability. Use when introducing or changing an API or cross-component contract. Not for internal implementation details with no boundary or for debugging one API failure; use root-cause-debugging there.

thiientv/godmode98Updated Aug 26, 2026

Reviews an existing codebase for structural friction, unclear ownership, leaky or shallow interfaces, excessive coupling, misplaced state, poor testability, and risky dependency direction, then prioritizes evidence-backed improvement candidates. Use for architecture audits, modularization, modernization, or recurring cross-cutting change pain. Not for designing one new interface, simplifying a local function, or fixing a reproduced bug.

Validates a running application, CLI, API, service, or generated artifact as a user or operator against a prewritten observable behavior contract while remaining source-blind. Use for acceptance checks, runtime proof, anti-fake probes, release smoke tests, or an independent companion to code review. Not for source-quality findings, root-cause diagnosis, or visual design judgment outside the contract.

Closes a completed development branch by checking the final diff and proof, presenting merge, pull-request, keep, or discard options, and cleaning up only after the user or repository workflow chooses a path. Use when feature work is complete and the branch must be integrated or retired. Not for claiming a feature is complete before verification.

Tests a real web user flow with a browser by asserting semantic behavior, network and loading states, keyboard access, responsive layouts, and stable visual evidence. Use for browser bugs, end-to-end UI behavior, responsive or accessibility checks, and screenshot baselines. Not for static source review without a browser or for backend-only tests.
