SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Gate 6 ensures real-service integration tests run against external dependencies using real containers to validate end-to-end behavior across the development cycle.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates integration planning and execution for external dependencies (databases, message brokers, APIs) using testcontainers.
  • Enforces a gated workflow with automated quality checks and clear handoffs to subsequent gates.
  • Supports both Go and TypeScript projects with language-aware testing patterns and container orchestration.

Quick Start

Run Gate 6 to validate real-service integration using testcontainers after Gate 5 completes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run integration tests against databases and message brokers using testcontainers?▼

You can coordinate integration tests for external dependencies using testcontainers in both Go and TypeScript projects. The Skill enforces language-aware testing patterns and container orchestration to validate real-service behavior across databases and queues.

What is Gate 6 integration testing and when do I need it?▼

Gate 6 integration testing validates real-service behavior by running end-to-end tests against external dependencies using actual containers. You need it during development cycles requiring real-service validation across databases, message brokers, and APIs before proceeding to subsequent gates.

Can I use testcontainers for integration testing in both Go and TypeScript?▼

Yes, testcontainers-based integration testing is supported for both Go and TypeScript projects. The Skill applies language-aware testing patterns and container orchestration to coordinate real-service validation across both language environments.

How do I automate quality gate checks for containerized integration tests?▼

Automated quality gate checks are enforced per Gate 6 specification through a gated workflow with clear handoffs. The Skill coordinates testcontainers-based execution and gates the transition to subsequent phases only when quality checks pass.

What's the best way to validate external dependencies in CI using real containers?▼

Validating external dependencies in CI is handled by orchestrating testcontainers to spin up real databases, queues, and APIs. The Skill coordinates end-to-end integration testing with gated handoffs and automated quality checks per Gate 6 specification.

Do I need to complete Gate 5 before running Gate 6 integration tests?▼

Yes, Gate 6 runs after Gate 5 completes. The Skill enforces a gated workflow where integration testing using testcontainers is executed only after the prior gate finishes, ensuring clear handoffs and automated quality gate validation.
