advocacy-testing-strategy

What problem does it solve?

Advocacy software often confronts high-stakes outcomes where silent test failures can lead to lost evidence or exposed activists. This skill provides a structured approach to spec-first test generation, assertion quality review, and mutation testing to raise confidence in code that handles sensitive data and activist workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Spec-first test generation: encode intent as tests before implementation.
• Assertion quality review and mutation testing: verify failures are meaningful and robust against mutants.
• Anti-pattern avoidance: detect and prevent common testing mistakes such as snapshot traps and mock-everything.
• Use cases across advocacy tools: safe evidence handling, cross-organization data sharing, and content safety checks.

Quick Start

Define a clear specification, generate spec-first tests from it, run the tests, and iteratively implement code until all tests pass.
