Testing Strategy

Design test strategies and test plans. Trigger with "how should we test", "test strategy for", "write tests for", "test plan", "what tests do we need", or when the user needs help with testing approaches, coverage, or test architecture.

$ npx promptcreek add testing-strategy

What This Skill Does

This skill designs effective testing strategies, balancing coverage, speed, and maintenance. It helps users create test plans, choose appropriate test types for different components, and set coverage targets. It is useful for QA engineers, developers, and test leads.

When to Use

  • Design a testing strategy for a project.
  • Select appropriate test types.
  • Set coverage targets.
  • Identify gaps in existing coverage.
  • Create example test cases.
  • Balance coverage, speed, and maintenance.

Key Features

Applies the testing pyramid concept.
Suggests strategies by component type.
Focuses on business-critical paths.
Identifies what to test and what to skip.
Creates test plans with coverage targets.
Balances coverage, speed, and maintenance.

Installation

Run in your project directory:
$ npx promptcreek add testing-strategy

Auto-detects your installed agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc.) and installs the skill to each one.

Testing Strategy

Design effective testing strategies balancing coverage, speed, and maintenance.

Testing Pyramid

/  E2E  \         Few, slow, high confidence

/ Integration \ Some, medium speed

/ Unit Tests \ Many, fast, focused

Strategy by Component Type

  • API endpoints: Unit tests for business logic, integration tests for HTTP layer, contract tests for consumers
  • Data pipelines: Input validation, transformation correctness, idempotency tests
  • Frontend: Component tests, interaction tests, visual regression, accessibility
  • Infrastructure: Smoke tests, chaos engineering, load tests

What to Cover

Focus on: business-critical paths, error handling, edge cases, security boundaries, data integrity.

Skip: trivial getters/setters, framework code, one-off scripts.

Output

Produce a test plan with: what to test, test type for each area, coverage targets, and example test cases. Identify gaps in existing coverage.
