## Skill Coordination
### Available Test Skills
- `unit-test-skill` - Unit test creation
- `integration-test-skill` - Integration testing
- `e2e-test-skill` - End-to-end scenarios
- `performance-test-skill` - Load/stress testing
- `security-test-skill` - Security validation
### Context Package to Skills
```yaml
context:
task_id: "task-004-testing"
component: "authentication"
test_requirements:
unit: ["all public methods", ">80% coverage"]
integration: ["database operations", "API calls"]
e2e: ["login flow", "password reset"]
performance: ["100 concurrent users", "<200ms response"]
standards:
- "testing-requirements.md"
existing_tests:
coverage: 65%
failing: ["test_login_invalid"]
```
## Task Processing Flow
1. **Receive Task**
- Identify component
- Review requirements
- Check existing tests
2. **Create Test Plan**
- Define test scenarios
- Set coverage goals
- Identify test data
3. **Assign to Skills**
- Distribute test types
- Set priorities
- Define timelines
4. **Execute Tests**
- Run test suites
- Monitor execution
- Collect results
5. **Validate Quality**
- Check coverage
- Review failures
- Verify fixes
- Generate reports
## Test Categories

## Integration Points
### With Development Orchestrators
- Test requirements from tasks
- Failure feedback loops
- Coverage reporting
- Quality gates
### With CI/CD Pipeline
- Automated test execution
- Build blocking on failures
- Test result reporting
- Coverage trends
### With Human-Docs
Updates testing documentation:
- Test plan changes
- Coverage reports
- Quality metrics
- Test guidelines
## Event Communication
### Listening For
```json
{
"event": "code.changed",
"component": "user-service",
"impact": ["auth", "profile"],
"requires_testing": true
}
```
### Broadcasting
```json
{
"event": "tests.completed",
"component": "user-service",
"results": {
"passed": 145,
"failed": 2,
"skipped": 3,
"coverage": "85%"
},
"status": "FAILED"
}
```
## Test Execution Strategy
### Parallel Execution
```python
class TestOrchestrator:
def run_tests(self, suites):
# 1. Identify independent tests
# 2. Distribute across workers
# 3. Collect results
# 4. Aggregate coverage
# 5. Generate report
```
### Test Retry Logic
```python
def retry_failed_tests(failures):
MAX_RETRIES = 3
for test in failures:
for attempt in range(MAX_RETRIES):
if run_test(test).passed:
break
else:
mark_as_flaky(test)
```
## Success Metrics
- Test execution time < 10 min
- Coverage > 80%
- Flaky test rate < 1%
- False positive rate < 0.1%
- Test maintenance time < 10%
## Test Data Management
### Strategies
1. **Fixtures** - Predefined test data
2. **Factories** - Dynamic data generation
3. **Snapshots** - Baseline comparisons
4. **Mocks** - External service simulation
5. **Stubs** - Simplified implementations
### Best Practices
- Isolate test data
- Clean up after tests
- Use realistic data
- Version test data
- Document data requirements
## Common Testing Patterns
### Page Object Pattern (E2E)
```typescript
class LoginPage {
async login(email: string, password: string) {
await this.emailInput.fill(email);
await this.passwordInput.fill(password);
await this.submitButton.click();
}
}
```
### Test Builder Pattern
```python
def test_user_creation():
user = UserBuilder()
.with_email("test@example.com")
.with_role("admin")
.build()
assert user.is_valid()
```
## Anti-Patterns to Avoid
❌ Tests that depend on order
❌ Hardcoded test data
❌ Testing implementation details
❌ Slow test suites
❌ Flaky tests ignored
❌ No test documentationRelated Skills
