Analyze Pyramid

Analyze Test Pyramid Command

Analyze the current test distribution and recommend improvements for a healthier test pyramid.

Process

Step 1: Discover Tests

If a test directory is provided, use it. Otherwise, search for common test patterns:

# .NET projects
find . -name "*.Tests.csproj" -o -name "*Tests*.csproj"
find . -name "*Test*.cs" -type f

# Count tests
grep -r "\[Fact\]\|\[Theory\]" --include="*.cs" | wc -l

Step 2: Categorize Tests

Identify test levels by project/folder naming:

• Unit: *.Unit.Tests, *.Domain.Tests
• Integration: *.Integration.Tests, *.Api.Tests
• E2E: *.E2E.Tests, *.Acceptance.Tests

Count tests at each level:

| Level | Project | Test Count |
|-------|---------|------------|
| Unit | MyApp.Domain.Tests | 150 |
| Unit | MyApp.Application.Tests | 80 |
| Integration | MyApp.Api.Tests | 60 |
| E2E | MyApp.E2E.Tests | 40 |

Step 3: Load Pyramid Skill

Invoke the test-strategy:test-pyramid-design skill for shape analysis patterns.

Step 4: Analyze Distribution

Calculate percentages and identify shape:

## Current Distribution

| Level | Count | Percentage | Target |
|-------|-------|------------|--------|
| Unit | 230 | 70% | 70% ✅ |
| Integration | 60 | 18% | 20% ✅ |
| E2E | 40 | 12% | 10% ⚠️ |

**Shape Assessment**: Near-healthy pyramid with slight E2E heaviness

Step 5: Identify Anti-Patterns

Check for common issues:

• Ice Cream Cone: E2E > 30%
• Hourglass: Integration > 50%
• Inverted Pyramid: Unit < 50%
• Missing Layer: Any level at 0%

Step 6: Generate Recommendations

Based on analysis:

## Recommendations

### Immediate Actions
1. **Reduce E2E tests** by 2% (8 tests)
   - Review for tests that can be pushed to integration level
   - Identify tests duplicating lower-level coverage

### Test Migration Candidates
| Current Level | Candidate | Recommended Level | Reason |
|---------------|-----------|-------------------|--------|
| E2E | Login validation | Integration | API test sufficient |
| E2E | Form validation | Unit | Pure logic test |
| Integration | Data transform | Unit | No I/O needed |

### Coverage Gaps
- Unit tests needed for: [business logic areas]
- Integration tests needed for: [API boundaries]

Step 7: Output Report
