pwrl-testing Orchestrator

Phase 6: Testing & Validation

Comprehensive testing and validation framework for micro-skill pipeline architecture.

Interaction Method

• Use platform's ask_user_question, ask_user, ask_user_input, vscode/askQuestions or any available extension/tool for user interaction for all decisions
• Ask one question at a time
• Use multiple-choice questions when possible
• If input is empty, ask: "What should be tested? Provide a test scope, files to test, or a skill to validate."
• Provide clear recovery suggestions when errors occur

Overview

Phase 6 ensures quality of the entire refactored architecture through comprehensive testing and validation.

Architecture

Pure 4-phase testing pipeline:

Code Ready for Testing
  ↓
Phase 1: Micro-Skill Unit Tests (U6.1)
├─ Test each of 17 micro-skills
├─ 40-50 test cases per skill
├─ 8-10 test suites per skill
├─ Happy path + errors + edge cases
├─ Output: Unit test results + coverage
  ↓
Phase 2: Orchestration Integration Tests (U6.2)
├─ Test 4 complete orchestrators
├─ Test phase-to-phase data flow
├─ Test error recovery paths
├─ Test performance benchmarks
├─ Output: Integration test results
  ↓
Phase 3: Backward Compatibility Tests (U6.3)
├─ Verify no breaking changes
├─ Compare old vs. new behavior
├─ Test real-world scenarios
├─ Verify API compatibility
├─ Output: Compatibility report
  ↓
Phase 4: Consolidation Audit (U6.4)
├─ Measure duplication reduction
├─ Verify shared utility adoption
├─ Calculate consolidation metrics
├─ Verify 40%+ reduction achieved
├─ Output: Audit report + metrics
  ↓
