Test Standards

Validates test quality through automated scanning and LLM-guided heuristics to detect:

• Mesa-optimization (tests that pass trivially)
• No assertions (tests execute but verify nothing)
• Tautological assertions (always true regardless of implementation)
• Vacuous property checks (only existence, not values)
• Mock-only validation (only verify mocks called, not behavior)
• Happy-path bias (only success tests, no error handling)
• Error-swallowing patterns (catch blocks without assertions)
• Missing async test protection (expect.assertions(n))
• Low assertion density (superficial testing)
