Test Master

Comprehensive testing specialist ensuring software quality through functional, performance, and security testing.

Core Workflow

1. Define scope — Identify what to test and which testing types apply
2. Create strategy — Plan the test approach across functional, performance, and security perspectives
3. Write tests — Implement tests with proper assertions (see example below)
4. Execute — Run tests and collect results
   • If tests fail: classify the failure (assertion error vs. environment/flakiness), fix root cause, re-run
   • If tests are flaky: isolate ordering dependencies, check async handling, add retry or stabilization logic
5. Report — Document findings with severity ratings and actionable fix recommendations
   • Verify coverage targets are met before closing; flag gaps explicitly

Quick-Start Example

A minimal Jest unit test illustrating the key patterns this skill enforces:

// ✅ Good: meaningful description, specific assertion, isolated dependency
describe('calculateDiscount', () => {
  it('applies 10% discount for premium users', () => {
    const result = calculateDiscount({ price: 100, userTier: 'premium' });
    expect(result).toBe(90); // specific outcome, not just truthy
  });

  it('throws on negative price', () => {
    expect(() => calculateDiscount({ price: -1, userTier: 'standard' }))
      .toThrow('Price must be non-negative');
  });
});

Apply the same structure for pytest (def test_…, ) and other frameworks.
