Design and implement automated test suites — unit, integration, e2e — with proper coverage, maintainability, and CI integration.
Goals
- Automate regression tests to enable confident releases
- Choose the right test seam for each scenario
- Keep tests fast, reliable, and deterministic
- Integrate testing into the CI/CD pipeline
Contract
Input
A codebase or feature to test: architecture, entry points, risk areas.
Output
A testing strategy with:
- Test pyramid (unit/integration/e2e proportions)
- Automated test suite with coverage report
- CI integration and failure handling
Test Pyramid
/\
/e2e\ ← Few, slow, high confidence
/------\
/integr. \ ← Some, medium speed
/----------\
/ unit tests \ ← Many, fast, isolated
/______________\
Steps
- Audit the codebase — entry points, data flows, risk areas
- Define the test pyramid — unit/integration/e2e ratio
- Choose testing tools — match to language and framework
- Write tests — start with happy paths, add edge cases
- Make tests reliable — eliminate flakiness, mock external deps
- Integrate with CI — gate on test results, report coverage
- Maintain — review test suite regularly, remove dead tests
