Evaluate test suite quality by scoring tests against Dave Farley's 8 properties to produce a weighted quality score. This generates per-property scores, an overall grade, prioritized recommendations, and a patterns-observed summary for targeted improvements.

Dave Farley's 8 properties for test design evaluation are Understandable, Maintainable, Repeatable, Atomic, Necessary, Granular, Fast, and First (TDD). Tests are scored from 1 to 10 on each property to calculate a weighted Test Quality Score.

Audit unit and integration tests by applying an evaluation scorecard to identify anti-patterns across the suite. The analysis returns a Patterns Observed section highlighting strengths and weaknesses to guide test refactoring and suite improvements.

Yes, you can apply this test evaluation scorecard to unit and integration tests across any software project. It is designed to guide QA reviews, refactors, and test-suite audits by providing a weighted quality score and concrete improvement recommendations.

Measure test maintainability by scoring tests on properties like Maintainable, Understandable, and Granular. The evaluation produces a weighted Test Quality Score with an accompanying grade and prioritized recommendations to raise overall test health.

Avoid using a weighted test quality score when you need granular root-cause debugging of individual test failures rather than a holistic suite audit. This evaluation focuses on strategic test design quality and identifying broad anti-patterns, not runtime error isolation.
