What This Skill Does

This skill designs effective testing strategies, balancing coverage, speed, and maintenance. It helps users create test plans, choose appropriate test types for different components, and set coverage targets. It is useful for QA engineers, developers, and test leads.

When to Use

Design a testing strategy for a project.
Select appropriate test types.
Set coverage targets.
Identify gaps in existing coverage.
Create example test cases.
Balance coverage, speed, and maintenance.

Key Features

Applies the testing pyramid concept.
Suggests strategies by component type.
Focuses on business-critical paths.
Identifies what to test and what to skip.
Creates test plans with coverage targets.
Balances coverage, speed, and maintenance.

Manual Installation

Testing Pyramid

/ E2E \ Few, slow, high confidence / Integration \ Some, medium speed / Unit Tests \ Many, fast, focused

Strategy by Component Type

API endpoints: Unit tests for business logic, integration tests for HTTP layer, contract tests for consumers Data pipelines: Input validation, transformation correctness, idempotency tests Frontend: Component tests, interaction tests, visual regression, accessibility Infrastructure: Smoke tests, chaos engineering, load tests

What to Cover

Focus on: business-critical paths, error handling, edge cases, security boundaries, data integrity.

Skip: trivial getters/setters, framework code, one-off scripts.

Output

Produce a test plan with: what to test, test type for each area, coverage targets, and example test cases. Identify gaps in existing coverage. Testing Strategy
