AI-Aware Testing Strategy

Based on empirical research:

• AgentAssay (2026): Non-deterministic agent testing framework
• MSR 2026: Over-mocking anti-patterns in AI-generated tests
• Veracode 2025: 45% of AI code contains vulnerabilities
• CodeRabbit 2025: AI code has 1.7x more bugs than human code
• CoderEval (2023): 43.1% of AI code is less robust

Standalone awareness: when inside stelow, triggered automatically by product_type in spec-product.md frontmatter. When standalone, invoke directly with a spec-product.md path. Appetite defaults to Core if not found — documented in output. All test-breadth tables and quality baselines work identically in both modes.

Activation

• Trigger: product_type: software or product_type: hybrid in spec-product.md frontmatter
• Phase: Phase 11 (Tech Planning)
• Prerequisite: approved spec-product.md with scope defined

Step 2: Read Appetite and Product Context
