This skill helps you create and review tests that provide meaningful regression evidence instead of duplicating implementation details or framework behavior.
Ask the writing-tests skill to review the proposed tests for behavioral coverage, determinism, mock boundaries, assertion quality, and alignment with nearby repository conventions.

Behavior-focused testing prioritizes stable contracts, realistic inputs, and important failure paths over duplicating implementation details. This approach ensures tests provide meaningful regression evidence by validating externally observable outcomes instead of framework internals.
Reviewing test fixtures and mocks involves assessing boundary isolation, determinism, and assertion precision. You should evaluate whether mocks are focused enough and whether verification evidence confirms the test would fail if the underlying behavior broke.
Test structure should extend related coverage when appropriate and choose the smallest effective test shape. Aligning with local repository conventions means placing test files, helpers, and fixtures where similar tests already live in the codebase.
Yes, this testing approach applies across unit, integration, UI, contract, characterization, and live validation scenarios. It scales by adjusting boundary isolation and mock scope while maintaining behavior-focused coverage and precise assertions.
Tests that pass without catching regressions often duplicate implementation logic or use overly broad assertions. Shifting to behavior-focused coverage with precise assertions and explicit verification evidence ensures tests actually validate meaningful outcomes.
