gate-5-test-execution

Test execution validation requires running npm test to verify a zero exit code, detect any failing tests, and block code progression when failures are present. This prevents deploying code with failing tests.

A zero exit code from npm test indicates all tests passed without producing fail output. Quality assurance validation checks this exit status to ensure test coverage is maintained or improved across code changes.

Regression checks block deployment by enforcing the test suite before release. The validation detects any failing tests and prevents progression until npm test executes with a zero exit code and no fail output.

Gate-5 test execution operates without external dependencies. It validates npm test execution, checks for a zero exit status, and ensures test coverage is preserved or improved across code changes.

Test execution may fail gate-5 validation if npm test produces any fail output or returns a non-zero exit code. The validation requires both a zero exit status and no fail output to guarantee 100% pass rate.

Test execution guards enforce running the test suite before release in CI pipelines. They detect failing tests, block progression, and ensure coverage is maintained or improved across code changes for quality assurance.
