Test Writing

Write tests that fail when the behavior breaks and stay green through refactors. The deliverable is not coverage — it is a tripwire: for every realistic way the code under test could regress, at least one test goes red. A test that cannot fail against broken code is documentation wearing a test's costume.

When to Activate

  • "Write tests for X", "add coverage", "this module has no tests".
  • A bug fix needs its regression test (awesome-bug-fix hands off here).
  • A review or audit finding says "needs a test" (awesome-code-review, awesome-security-audit, awesome-dependency-audit).
  • Legacy code needs a safety net before a refactor (characterization tests).

Do not activate to review test quality in a diff (awesome-code-review Phase 4 owns that) or to find the root cause of a failure (awesome-bug-fix).
