Testing Workflow

Meta-skill that orchestrates comprehensive testing across a project by coordinating testing-patterns, e2e-testing, and testing agents. Routes to the right skill at each stage and ensures nothing is missed.

What's Inside

• Five-phase orchestration flow:
  1. Discovery and baseline (scan infrastructure, measure coverage, map gaps)
  2. Strategy selection (project type, test patterns, critical journeys)
  3. Implementation (unit → integration → E2E → edge cases)
  4. Validation (run suite, measure coverage, check quality, verify CI)
  5. Maintenance (coverage ratcheting, flaky test policy, test review standards, health audits)
• Skill routing table (which skill to use for which need)
• Coverage targets by project type (startup MVP through critical infrastructure)
• Testing strategy template for documentation
• Quality gates for testing completion

When to Use

• Setting up testing for a new project from scratch
• Improving coverage for an existing project with gaps
• Establishing or revising a testing strategy
• Before a major release to verify quality gates are met
• After a large refactor to confirm nothing broke
• During code review when test adequacy is in question
• Onboarding a team to a testing workflow
