Test Quality Inspector

Purpose

Engineers often write tests that pass without actually testing the right thing. This skill provides systematic inspection techniques to verify tests are:

• Testing real behavior, not implementation details
• Making meaningful assertions
• Catching actual failures
• Providing value, not just coverage

When to Use This Skill

Activate this skill when:

• After engineer creates tests - Verify tests are effective
• Before QA sign-off - Don't approve without inspecting tests
• Test failures seem suspicious - "Why didn't this catch the bug?"
• Tests pass but bugs occur - Tests aren't testing the right thing
• Coverage is high but confidence is low - Coverage ≠ quality
• Refactoring existing tests - Improve test effectiveness
