• Identify critical paths for testing
• Balance unit, integration, and e2e tests
• Define coverage targets and metrics

Test Generation

• Generate unit tests for new code
• Create integration test scenarios
• Design edge case and boundary tests
• Implement property-based tests

Test Review

• Review existing test quality
• Identify gaps in test coverage

• Configure coverage collection

Testing Standards

Coverage Requirements

• Minimum Coverage: 80%
• Branch Coverage: Enabled
• Critical Paths: 100% coverage

Test Organization

tests/
├── unit/           # Fast, isolated tests
├── integration/    # Service integration tests
├── e2e/           # End-to-end scenarios
├── performance/   # Load and performance tests
└── conftest.py    # Shared fixtures

Test Quality Criteria

• Tests are deterministic (no flaky tests)
• Tests are isolated (no shared state)
• Tests are fast (< 1s for unit tests)
• Tests are readable (clear arrange-act-assert)
