SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses the gap between code changes and test coverage, identifying untested risks and misaligned testing efforts before they reach production.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Change Risk Analysis: Maps code diffs to risk levels (CRITICAL to LOW) and identifies potential blast radii.
  • Gap Analysis: Compares existing test coverage against code changes to highlight missing assertions or structural-only tests.
  • Audit Mode: Performs deep-dive audits on codebase areas to inventory load-bearing behaviors and identify coverage blind spots.

Quick Start

Invoke the goat-qa skill to analyze the testing gaps for the current branch diff against the existing test suite.

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify testing coverage gaps for code changes in a pull request?

Testing coverage gap analysis maps code changes to existing test suites to highlight missing assertions or structural-only tests. It evaluates verification integrity by identifying untested risks and misaligned testing efforts before they reach production.

What is testing gap analysis and when do I need it for my codebase?

Testing gap analysis compares existing test coverage against code changes to highlight missing assertions or structural-only tests. You need it when evaluating verification integrity for PR diffs or performing structural codebase assessments to find coverage blind spots.

Can I perform a risk analysis on a codebase area without a specific pull request diff?

Yes, you can perform a deep-dive audit on codebase areas without a specific PR diff. Audit mode inventories load-bearing behaviors and identifies coverage blind spots through structural codebase assessments rather than change-based analysis.

Do I need specific test commands to analyze test coverage gaps?

Yes, analyzing test coverage gaps requires access to repository diffs, test files, and project-specific test commands. These inputs are necessary to evaluate verification integrity and map code changes to risk levels accurately.

What's the best way to map code changes to risk levels for testing?

The best way to map code changes to risk levels is by analyzing code diffs to assign risk ratings from CRITICAL to LOW and identifying potential blast radii. This approach highlights untested risks and misaligned testing efforts before production deployment.

Why does my test suite pass but still have structural-only tests for new code changes?

Structural-only tests occur when existing test coverage executes new code paths but lacks specific assertions for the changed behaviors. Gap analysis compares test suites against code diffs to highlight these missing assertions and untested risks.
