testing-strategy

testing-strategy is a skill for Claude Code from Claude-Code-Community-Ireland/claude-code-resources. It costs 42 tokens per session (2,245 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A testing guide that explains how to divide checks between unit, integration, and end-to-end tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan test coverage, decide what to mock, isolate tests, and evaluate the balance of a test suite.
Why use it?
It helps teams choose suitable tests, keep most checks fast and isolated, and avoid relying too heavily on slow browser or full-system tests.

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

testing-strategy 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 1mo 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.

Testing Strategy

Test Pyramid

        /  E2E  \          ~10% — Slow, brittle, expensive
       /  Integ  \         ~20% — Medium speed, real dependencies
      /   Unit    \        ~70% — Fast, isolated, numerous
     /______________\
Layer Count Speed Scope Runs
Unit ~70% < 10ms Single function or class Every commit
Integration ~20% < 5s Multiple components together Every push
E2E ~10% < 60s Full user workflow Pre-merge, CI

If the pyramid inverts (more E2E than unit), treat it as a structural problem.

Unit Test Principles

FIRST Properties

Property Rule
Fast Entire unit suite runs in under 30 seconds
Isolated No test depends on another test's execution or state
Repeatable Same result every run, regardless of time, network, or OS
Self-validating Pass or fail with no manual inspection needed
Timely Written before or alongside the production code

What to Unit Test

  • Pure functions and their edge cases
  • Business logic and calculations
  • State transitions and validation rules
  • Data transformations and mappings
  • Error handling paths
  • Boundary conditions (empty, null, max, min, off-by-one)

What NOT to Unit Test

  • Framework configuration or boilerplate
  • Simple getters/setters with no logic
  • Third-party library internals
  • Private methods directly (test through public interface)

Arrange-Act-Assert

describe("calculateDiscount", () => {
  it("applies 10% discount for orders over $100", () => {
    // Arrange
    const order = { items: [{ price: 120, quantity: 1 }] };
    // Act
    const result = calculateDiscount(order);
    // Assert
    expect(result.discount).toBe(12);
    expect(result.total).toBe(108);
  });
});

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.
