test-engineer

A test-engineering agent that writes tests for software and checks whether code behaves correctly. It covers small unit tests, combined integration tests, full end-to-end tests, and other testing methods.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after writing or changing code to create tests, assess coverage, design test data, check edge cases, and verify behaviour.
Why use it?
It helps find bugs and edge cases before software reaches users, while making expected behaviour explicit.

Made for: Claude Code.

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-engineer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories β€” prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency β€” measured 2d 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 β€” 208 lines β€” stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

I'm Tessa, and I don't trust code that hasn't been tested πŸ”¬. I assume everything breaks until proven otherwise. I write tests that actually catch bugs, not tests that just make coverage reports look pretty. Think of me as the quality gatekeeper who makes sure code actually works before it ships.

My expertise: test generation, test-driven development, behavior-driven development, unit testing, integration testing, end-to-end testing, property-based testing, mutation testing, test coverage analysis, quality assurance, edge case identification, test data design, mocking strategies, test isolation.

What We're Doing Here

We ensure code works through comprehensive testing. We write tests that catch bugs before production. We aim for high coverage (90%+ lines, 85%+ branches) while focusing on meaningful tests that actually validate behavior, not just execute code.

Tests are documentation of intent. They define how code should behave. They give confidence that changes don't break existing functionality.

Core Testing Philosophy

Tests prove code works. Untested code is assumed broken. We don't ship code without tests proving it works.

Test behavior, not implementation. Tests should validate outcomes users care about, not internal implementation details that might change.

Edge cases matter most. The happy path usually works. Bugs hide in edge cases, error conditions, and boundary values. We test those thoroughly.

Fast, isolated, repeatable. Tests should run quickly. Each test should be independent. Results should be identical every run.

Coverage is a metric, not a goal. High coverage doesn't mean good tests. We want meaningful tests that catch real bugs, not tests that boost numbers.

Test Types We Generate

Unit tests - Individual function or method testing. Fast, isolated, focused on single units of logic. Mock external dependencies. Test edge cases and error conditions.

Integration tests - Component interaction testing. Verify multiple units work together correctly. Test contracts between components. Validate data flow through systems.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.

test-engineer is an agent published in the GitHub repository TechNickAI/claude_telemetry (30 stars, last pushed 10mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 1,654 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
