How much speedup can I expect in my workflow?

Users typically see a 3.1x average speedup in testing workflows, with specific tasks like test scaffolding seeing up to a 200x improvement via automation.

What is Coverage-Driven Gap Closure?

It is a systematic algorithm that prioritizes testing efforts based on code criticality and current coverage gaps to reach target thresholds (80%+) efficiently.

Is this skill limited to Go projects?

While natively optimized for Go, the methodology is 89% transferable to languages like Python, Rust, TypeScript, and Java with minor language-specific adjustments.

Does this skill help with testing CLI applications?

Yes, it includes specialized patterns for stdout/stderr capture, mocking os.Exit, and testing flag parsing for robust command-line interface validation.

Can I use this for integration testing?

Absolutely. It provides specific fixture patterns and mocking strategies designed for complex multi-component interactions and external dependencies.

Security & Testing

Systematizes Go project testing through TDD, coverage-driven gap closure, and high-speed automation tools.

About

The Testing Strategy skill provides a comprehensive methodology for transforming ad-hoc testing into a systematic, coverage-driven engineering practice. Primarily optimized for Go but adaptable to multiple languages, it equips developers with eight robust testing patterns—including table-driven, golden file, and CLI testing—alongside automation tools that offer up to 200x speedups in test generation. It is specifically designed to help teams bridge the gap between 60% and 80%+ coverage while ensuring test quality remains high through deterministic, high-speed execution patterns.

Key Features

Comprehensive CLI-specific testing strategies and templates
Systematic gap-closure algorithm for reaching 80%+ coverage
15 GitHub stars
8 documented testing patterns including Table-Driven and Golden File
Test generation tools providing 200x speedup over manual scaffolding
Automated coverage gap analyzer with 186x analysis speedup

Use Cases

Establishing a standardized test infrastructure for new Go CLI applications
Implementing systematic quality gates in CI/CD pipelines
Increasing legacy project test coverage from 60% to 80% and beyond
