Orchestrate: Tests

Add test infrastructure and initial test coverage. This is Phase 3 and produces PR #2. Tests come before CI and security — good test coverage is a safety net for the code refactoring that security/quality fixes require.

When to Use

• After orchestrate:plan identifies tests as a needed phase
• After precommit phase (linting is the foundation)

Prerequisites

• Plan exists with tests phase
• Target repo in .repos/<target>/

Step 1: Detect Test Framework

Marker	Language	Framework	Assertion
pyproject.toml	Python	pytest	built-in assert
go.mod	Go	testing (stdlib)	testify
package.json	Node	jest or vitest	built-in expect
requirements.yml	Ansible	molecule	testinfra

Check existing tests:

find .repos/<target> -type f \( -name "test_*.py" -o -name "*_test.go" -o -name "*.test.*" \) 2>/dev/null

Step 2: Create Test Configuration

Python

• tests/conftest.py — shared fixtures
• tests/__init__.py — package marker
• pyproject.toml — add [tool.pytest.ini_options] with testpaths = ["tests"]

Go

• *_test.go files alongside source
• testdata/ for fixtures
• internal/testutil/ for shared helpers

Node

• jest.config.ts or vitest.config.ts at root
• __tests__/ directory or *.test.ts alongside source
