testing-strategy

testing-strategy is a skill for Claude Code from komluk/scaffolding. It costs 71 tokens per session (1,397 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A testing guide covering unit, integration, and end-to-end tests. Unit tests check small pieces, integration tests check connected parts, and end-to-end tests check complete user journeys.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when planning tests, writing test code, reviewing coverage, or setting up testing infrastructure.
Why use it?
It helps decide what to test, how much of each type to use, and which important cases might otherwise be missed.

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 28d 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 Skill

Purpose

Comprehensive testing guidelines including test pyramid, coverage targets, and test patterns.

Auto-Invoke Triggers

  • Planning test strategy
  • Writing unit/integration tests
  • Reviewing test coverage
  • Setting up test infrastructure

Test Pyramid

        /\
       /  \      E2E Tests (10%)
      /----\     - Critical user flows
     /      \    - Slow, expensive
    /--------\   Integration Tests (20%)
   /          \  - API tests, DB tests
  /------------\ - Medium speed
 /              \ Unit Tests (70%)
/----------------\ - Fast, isolated
                   - Business logic

Distribution Guidelines

Type Percentage Focus
Unit 70% Business logic, utilities
Integration 20% API, database, services
E2E 10% Critical user journeys

Coverage Targets

Metric Minimum Target
Line coverage 70% 80%
Branch coverage 60% 70%
Critical paths 90% 100%

What to Cover

  • All public methods
  • Business logic
  • Edge cases
  • Error handling
  • Integration points

What NOT to Cover

  • Generated code
  • Simple getters/setters
  • Framework code
  • Third-party libraries

Unit Testing

Principles

  • Test one thing per test
  • Tests should be fast (< 100ms)
  • Tests should be isolated
  • Tests should be deterministic
  • No external dependencies

AAA Pattern

Arrange - Set up test data and mocks
Act     - Execute the method under test
Assert  - Verify the expected outcome

Naming Convention

{Method}_{Scenario}_{ExpectedResult}

CreateUser_ValidData_ReturnsUserId
CreateUser_DuplicateEmail_ThrowsConflict
CalculateTotal_EmptyCart_ReturnsZero

Test Categories

Category Purpose Example
Happy path Normal operation Valid user creation
Edge case Boundary conditions Empty input, max length
Error case Failure scenarios Invalid data, not found

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.

testing-strategy is a skill published in the GitHub repository komluk/scaffolding (15 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 1,397 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
