What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams identify brittle tests and maintenance burden by analyzing git history to compare test changes to production changes, enabling data-driven improvements in test health.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Brittleness measurement: compute a Test Brittleness Ratio (test_changes / production_changes) to identify unstable tests.
  • Large test file detection: flag test files exceeding size thresholds to curb maintenance burden.
  • Test-only commit detection: locate commits that modify only tests, signaling maintenance overhead.
  • Hotspot integration readiness: correlate with hotspots and complexity trends to prioritize refactoring efforts.
  • ROI guidance: estimate annual maintenance costs and potential ROI from test refactoring.

Quick Start

  1. Run forensic-test-analysis on your repository to extract test health metrics.
  2. Review the generated hotspots and maintenance recommendations, then connect with forensic-hotspot-finder for cross-analysis.
  3. Use forensic-refactoring-roi to estimate ROI from targeted test-suite improvements.
