How the Testing Strategist skill works

Testing Strategy

Design effective testing strategies balancing coverage, speed, and maintenance.

Testing Pyramid

        /  E2E  \         Few, slow, high confidence
       / Integration \     Some, medium speed
      /    Unit Tests  \   Many, fast, focused

Strategy by Component Type

  • API endpoints: Unit tests for business logic, integration tests for HTTP layer, contract tests for consumers
  • Data pipelines: Input validation, transformation correctness, idempotency tests
  • Frontend: Component tests, interaction tests, visual regression, accessibility
  • Infrastructure: Smoke tests, chaos engineering, load tests

What to Cover

Focus on: business-critical paths, error handling, edge cases, security boundaries, data integrity.

Skip: trivial getters/setters, framework code, one-off scripts.

Output

Produce a test plan with: what to test, test type for each area, coverage targets, and example test cases. Identify gaps in existing coverage.

Zeplik output presentation

Present the final deliverable as a single polished artifact: clear headings, tables where the content is tabular, fenced code where it is code. Lead with the deliverable itself; keep process commentary to a single short line. If the skill produced multiple files or sections, end with a compact list of them with one-line purposes.
