Is this skill specific to any programming language?

No, while examples may use Python for consistency, the skill provides language-agnostic principles applicable to JavaScript, Java, C#, Go, Ruby, and more.

How does this help with legacy code?

It offers specific strategies for characterization testing, identifying seams, and breaking dependencies to safely bring untestable code under test.

Does it cover microservices testing?

Yes, it provides strategies for contract testing and the 'testing honeycomb' approach to validate service-to-service communication.

What is the recommended testing ratio?

It guides users on applying the testing pyramid (roughly 70% unit, 20% integration, 10% E2E) based on the specific architecture of the application.

Can it help reduce test flakiness?

Yes, it includes guidance on deterministic test design, eliminating timing dependencies, and identifying common anti-patterns that cause flakiness.
