testing-workflow

What problem does it solve?

This Skill standardizes and accelerates the creation and evaluation of comprehensive testing workflows, reducing deployment risk by guiding teams through a structured, sabotage-aware testing strategy.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Progressive Testing: Adopt a seven-layer approach (Unit, Docker Import, Docker Local, Contract, Terraform, Integration, and optional policies) to catch issues early.
• Sabotage Verification: Integrate sabotage-testing principles to ensure tests fail when code changes introduce regressions.
• Contract & Integration Focus: Provide contract tests and integration gates that validate cross-service boundaries and data contracts before deployment.
• Defensive Validation: Encourage defensive patterns and evidence-strengthening across layers to improve reliability and governance.
• Use Case: Before deploying Lambda or serverless changes, run the full pre-deployment checks to avoid costly errors in AWS, ensuring tests can fail fast and guide faster fixes.

Quick Start

Use the testing workflow skill to align your tests with the 7-layer progressive strategy and begin with unit tests, then Docker-based checks, followed by contract and integration tests.
