SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Teams often struggle to decide what to test, which test types to use, and how much coverage is enough. This Skill provides a structured approach to designing test strategies that balance coverage, speed, and maintenance cost. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Testing Pyramid Guidance: Applies the unit, integration, and E2E pyramid to allocate the right number of tests at each level. - Component-Specific Strategies: Recommends test approaches for API endpoints, data pipelines, frontend components, and infrastructure. - Coverage Prioritization: Focuses testing on business-critical paths, error handling, edge cases, security boundaries, and data integrity while skipping trivial code. - Use Case: When starting a new API service, ask for a test plan and receive a breakdown of what to test, which test type fits each area, coverage targets, and example test cases. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to design a test strategy for your API endpoints, including what to test, test types, and coverage targets.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a test strategy for a new project?▼

Start with the testing pyramid: many fast unit tests, some integration tests, and few slow E2E tests. Then map test types to each component, prioritizing business-critical paths, error handling, and edge cases.

What tests should I write for API endpoints?▼

Use unit tests for business logic, integration tests for the HTTP layer, and contract tests for API consumers. Focus coverage on error handling, security boundaries, and data integrity rather than trivial code.

How many E2E tests vs unit tests should a project have?▼

Follow the testing pyramid: many fast unit tests at the base, a moderate number of integration tests in the middle, and few slow E2E tests at the top. This balances confidence with speed and maintenance cost.

What code should not be covered by tests?▼

Skip trivial getters and setters, framework-provided code, and one-off scripts. Testing effort is better spent on business-critical paths, edge cases, and security boundaries where failures have real impact.

How do I test frontend components effectively?▼

Combine component tests for rendering logic, interaction tests for user behavior, visual regression tests for UI consistency, and accessibility tests. Prioritize user-facing flows over internal implementation details.
