Move testing activities earlier in the development lifecycle to catch defects when they're cheapest to fix. Use when implementing TDD, CI/CD, or early quality practices.
Move quality earlier in the development lifecycle. Covers dev/QA pairing patterns, Three Amigos sessions, TDD facilitation (Red-Green-Refactor), PR review checklists for testability, and Definition of Done with quality gates. Includes shift-left maturity model for team assessment. Use when: "shift left," "TDD," "dev-QA pairing," "definition of done," "testability," "quality culture," "QA in sprint planning." Not for: writing the unit tests themselves — use unit-testing; automated PR test-quality review at scale — use ai-qa-review; multi-quarter QA direction or roadmap — use test-strategy. Related: unit-testing, ai-qa-review, test-strategy.
Review EXISTING test code for quality, smells, and testability issues. Detects test smells across six dimensions — readability, reliability, diagnostic value, design, AI-generated, and coverage — analyzes testability of application code, and backs the qualitative smells with mutation testing. Use when: "review my tests," "test quality audit," "test smells," "testability analysis," "are these tests any good." Not for: generating new tests — use `ai-test-generation`. Not for: testing AI features in your product — use `ai-system-testing`. Related: unit-testing, shift-left-testing, coverage-analysis, ai-test-generation.
Write effective unit tests with Jest, Vitest, or pytest. Covers the test-doubles taxonomy (stub/spy/mock/fake), Arrange-Act-Assert, coverage threshold configuration and CI gating, snapshot testing, fake timers, and mutation testing with Stryker/mutmut. Use when: "unit test," "Jest," "Vitest," "pytest," "mock," "coverage threshold," "test doubles," "mutation testing," "fake timers," "snapshot test." Not for: interpreting coverage reports or finding coverage gaps — use coverage-analysis; AI generating the test code for you — use ai-test-generation; auditing existing tests for smells — use ai-qa-review; browser/component rendering assertions — use cypress-automation or visual-testing. Related: coverage-analysis, ci-cd-integration, ai-test-generation, shift-left-testing.
Test application security against OWASP Top 10 (2025) with automated CI tooling: OWASP ZAP (DAST), dependency/supply-chain scanning (OSV-Scanner, SBOM, provenance), Semgrep SAST, auth/session tests (JWT, OAuth, RBAC), and XSS/CSRF/SQLi/SSRF Playwright patterns. Use when: "security test," "OWASP," "vulnerability," "ZAP," "XSS," "SSRF," "dependency scan," "auth testing," "OWASP LLM Top 10." Scope is automated scanning + negative-path security tests in CI, not manual penetration testing. Not for: mapping security controls to regulations (SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI, GDPR) — use compliance-testing; pipeline stage wiring and deploy gating mechanics — use ci-cd-integration; purely functional API auth/input tests with no attacker model — see api-testing; testing your product's own LLM features or defending the agent itself (prompt-injection detector, indirect injection, jailbreak red-teaming) — use ai-system-testing. Related: ci-cd-integration, compliance-testing, api-testing, shift-left-testing, ai-system-testing.
Onboard a new QA engineer to an existing codebase, or audit an existing test architecture. Produces a 30-day ramp plan: codebase orientation, framework walkthrough, test architecture audit, mentorship pairing, and first-test guidance. Use when: "QA onboarding," "new tester," "ramp up," "test architecture audit," "first 30 days," "QA mentorship," "joining QA team." Not for: setting up QA on a brand-new project from scratch — use `qa-start`. Related: qa-start, qa-project-context, shift-left-testing, ai-qa-review.
Orchestrate quality engineering across CI/CD pipeline phases. Use when designing test strategies, planning quality gates, or implementing shift-left/shift-right testing.
