Testing Methodology Skill

REFERENCE MODE: This skill provides reference material. Load specific standards on-demand based on current task.

Language-agnostic testing principles applicable across all technology stacks. Covers test structure, organization, coverage requirements, property-based testing, test doubles, and reliability patterns.

Workflow

Step 1: Load Testing Methodology

Important: Load this standard for any testing work.

Read: standards/testing-methodology.md

Covers AAA pattern, test categories (happy path, parameter variants, corner cases, error conditions), test class organization, naming, data generation, property-based testing, test doubles taxonomy, reliability, and anti-patterns.

Step 2: Load Coverage Standards (As Needed)

Read: standards/testing-coverage.md

Use when: Analyzing test coverage, defining corner cases, improving coverage metrics, or boundary value analysis.

Code Examples

AAA Pattern

def test_discount_applied_for_premium_user():
    # Arrange
    user = User(tier="premium")
    cart = Cart(items=[Item(price=100)])

    # Act
    total = cart.checkout(user)

    # Assert
    assert total == 90  # 10% premium discount
