SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Gate 6 ensures real-service integration tests run against external dependencies using real containers to validate end-to-end behavior across the development cycle.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates integration planning and execution for external dependencies (databases, message brokers, APIs) using testcontainers.
  • Enforces a gated workflow with automated quality checks and clear handoffs to subsequent gates.
  • Supports both Go and TypeScript projects with language-aware testing patterns and container orchestration.

Quick Start

Run Gate 6 to validate real-service integration using testcontainers after Gate 5 completes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run integration tests against databases and message brokers using testcontainers?

You can coordinate integration tests for external dependencies using testcontainers in both Go and TypeScript projects. The Skill enforces language-aware testing patterns and container orchestration to validate real-service behavior across databases and queues.

What is Gate 6 integration testing and when do I need it?

Gate 6 integration testing validates real-service behavior by running end-to-end tests against external dependencies using actual containers. You need it during development cycles requiring real-service validation across databases, message brokers, and APIs before proceeding to subsequent gates.

Can I use testcontainers for integration testing in both Go and TypeScript?

Yes, testcontainers-based integration testing is supported for both Go and TypeScript projects. The Skill applies language-aware testing patterns and container orchestration to coordinate real-service validation across both language environments.

How do I automate quality gate checks for containerized integration tests?

Automated quality gate checks are enforced per Gate 6 specification through a gated workflow with clear handoffs. The Skill coordinates testcontainers-based execution and gates the transition to subsequent phases only when quality checks pass.

What's the best way to validate external dependencies in CI using real containers?

Validating external dependencies in CI is handled by orchestrating testcontainers to spin up real databases, queues, and APIs. The Skill coordinates end-to-end integration testing with gated handoffs and automated quality checks per Gate 6 specification.

Do I need to complete Gate 5 before running Gate 6 integration tests?

Yes, Gate 6 runs after Gate 5 completes. The Skill enforces a gated workflow where integration testing using testcontainers is executed only after the prior gate finishes, ensuring clear handoffs and automated quality gate validation.
