SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you quickly restore confidence in the LinkMerce codebase when tests fail by guiding you to reproduce the issue, pinpoint the smallest reliable fix, and update tests without unnecessary refactoring.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Failure reproduction & diagnosis: Reproduce the failing behavior first, then trace the smallest relevant implementation path and nearby tests.
  • Minimal safe fixes: Determine whether the issue is in the test, implementation, or their boundary, and apply the smallest change that makes the failure go away.
  • Regression protection: Add or update a test only when the bug is real and reproducible, preserving existing naming/layout unless there is a strong reason to change it.
  • Re-validation guidance: Re-run the most relevant validation step to ensure the change matches the intended fix.

Quick Start

Use linkmerce-test-triage to debug a failing test in src/tests by reproducing the failure, locating the minimal code/test mismatch, applying the smallest fix, and then re-running the affected test suite to confirm the resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions about linkmerce-test-triage

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fix failing unit tests with minimal code changes?▼

Debug failing unit tests by reproducing the failure first, then determining whether the issue lies in the test logic, the implementation, or their boundary to apply the smallest safe fix.

What is the best way to triage test failures after a code change?▼

Triage test failures by reproducing the issue, tracing the smallest relevant implementation path, and distinguishing between test errors, implementation bugs, or boundary issues to apply targeted fixes.

When should I add regression tests for a failing unit test?▼

Add regression tests for a failing unit test only when the bug is real and reproducible, preserving existing test naming and layout unless a strong reason requires changing them.

How do I validate behavior after applying a minimal test fix?▼

Validate behavior after applying a minimal test fix by re-running the most relevant validation step and the affected test suite to confirm the change matches the intended resolution.

Why do my unit tests fail after updating implementation logic?▼

Unit tests fail after updating implementation logic due to behavior mismatches at the boundary between the test and the implementation, requiring failure reproduction and a minimal safe patch.

Does test triage require distinguishing between test and implementation issues?▼

Test triage requires distinguishing between test, implementation, and boundary issues to determine whether the failure stems from a test error or an implementation bug before applying a minimal fix.
