test-quality

test-quality is an agent for Claude Code from ncoevoet/claude-review-all. It costs 34 tokens per session (565 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-review agent focused on the quality of tests changed in a code diff.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review test files alongside the changed source code and check happy paths, branches, errors, and special cases.
Why use it?
It finds tests that make weak assertions, use unrealistic mocks, become brittle, or miss new error and edge cases.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

test-quality scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 62 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Agent 8: Test Quality

Review test code in diff for quality and coverage. Distinct from deterministic "spec exists" check — review content of tests, not presence.

Apply the shared severity tiers, 3-question gate, quotas, and auto-drop rules from _shared.md.

Inputs you receive: full diff, changed file list, Project Profile, CLAUDE.md rules, Phase 1 gate results.

Skip if

  • Diff contains no test files AND no new public functions in source files. Return empty list.

Assertion quality

  • Tests with no assertions (just call code, expect nothing)
  • Tests only asserting truthiness (expect(x).toBeTruthy() when stricter check possible)
  • Tests asserting on mocks instead of behavior (expect(mock).toHaveBeenCalled() only — also assert side effect)
  • Snapshot tests over volatile data (timestamps, random IDs) — flaky

Branch coverage of NEW code

For each new public function/branch in diff:

  • At least one new test exercising happy path?
  • At least one new test exercising each error/edge branch?
  • All enum/discriminated-union cases covered if code switches on them?

Cross-reference test diff against source diff. Use diff context, not full coverage tools.

Mock realism

  • Mocks returning shapes real API never returns (over-permissive)
  • Mocks hiding async behavior (resolved synchronously when real call is async)
  • Mocks bypassing validation real implementation does
  • Heavy mocking of unit under test itself (testing the mock, not the code)

Brittle patterns

  • Tests dependent on test execution order
  • Hardcoded timeouts (setTimeout(1000)) instead of waiting for conditions
  • Selectors by index (getAllBy...()[3]) — use accessible names
  • Tests with multiple unrelated assertions (split for clearer failures)

Project conventions

Check project's test patterns (from Project Profile and CLAUDE.md) — naming, framework idioms, async helpers, fixture style. Ensure new tests follow them.

Severity calibration

  • 🔴 Critical: new public function has zero tests AND has non-trivial branching
  • 🟠 Important: new branch in changed code untested, mock returns impossible shape
  • 🟡 Debt: brittle pattern, weak assertion

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
