Backend Test

When to Activate

• User says "test", "write tests", "testing strategy", "coverage", "fixtures"
• Adding tests for new features, bug fixes, or refactors
• Existing tests are failing, slow, or missing
• Choosing or changing a test framework
• Reviewing coverage before deployment

Prerequisites

See _shared/context-loading.md for standard prerequisites (project root check, manifest detection, memory file presence, fallback rules, and context priority list).

Add this test-specific prerequisite on top:

• REQUIRED: A test runner has been detected from the manifest or configuration (e.g., Jest, Vitest, pytest, go test, JUnit).
  • If missing: stop and ask the user to confirm the test runner or run backend-scan to detect it.
