Test Readability and Clarity Check Approach

To use test code as executable documentation, you validate that test suites accurately document system behavior by reconstructing understanding purely from the tests, turning them into living specifications that guide development and maintenance.

Dual-agent validation is a process where two agents review your test suites to surface gaps between code, tests, and architectural context, improving transparency and traceability during onboarding or architecture audits.

You generate living specification artifacts by running a dual-agent validation pass on your current test suite, which validates the tests and outputs a machine-readable living specification encoding intended system behavior.

You should perform an architecture audit of your test documentation during onboarding, major test refactors, or when you need to surface documentation gaps and improve alignment between system design and executable specs.

The best way to surface documentation gaps in test-driven specifications is to validate test readability through a dual perspective review, comparing test code against architectural context to identify missing or unclear behavior definitions.
