Testing strategy
Skill nledford/engineering-review-board/skills/testing-strategy
Review test strategy, confidence gaps, TDD and BDD fit, flaky tests, boundary coverage, and suite maintainability. Use for a risk-focused audit of tests or test plans; do not use to write a single test, debug an active failure, or run a routine TDD loop.From its SKILL.md

Testing Strategy Skill
Use this skill when the primary task is assessing whether a test suite or test
plan provides the right confidence. Always load
review-verification-protocol
before reporting findings. For repository change reviews, also load
code-review.
Use test-driven-development for
Red-Green-Refactor implementation, and systematic-debugging for an active
unexplained test failure.
Workflow
- Identify the behaviors, contracts, invariants, risks, and failure modes the tests need to protect.
- Map existing unit, integration, contract, end-to-end, property, and manual checks to those risks.
- Find confidence gaps, redundant coverage, brittle implementation coupling, over-mocking, flakiness, unclear fixtures, and slow feedback paths.
- Recommend the narrowest test level that proves each missing behavior, including boundary tests for architecture-critical constraints.
- Validate claims with test code and runner evidence. Record skipped checks, environmental limitations, and residual quality risk.
Output
Return prioritized findings and a risk-focused improvement plan with evidence, recommended test levels, skipped validation, and residual risk.
