Question 1

What does the Testing Strategy Selection skill do?

Accepted Answer

This skill optimizes your software testing process by applying test pyramid principles. it provides a strategic framework to help Claude Code determine the ideal balance of unit, integration, and end-to-end tests for any given feature.

Question 2

What specific capabilities does it provide for Claude Code?

Accepted Answer

It provides implementation guidance for the Test Pyramid model, standardized workflows for bug fixes and refactors, agent coordination guidelines (for test-writer-fixer and others), and targeted coverage metrics to maintain healthy test suites.

Question 3

How does this skill improve development speed?

Accepted Answer

It improves speed by preventing 'test bloat.' By prioritizing fast unit tests and limiting slow E2E tests to critical paths, it ensures high coverage without significantly increasing CI/CD pipeline times or maintenance overhead.

Question 4

When should I use this skill in my workflow?

Accepted Answer

Use this skill during the planning phase of a new feature, when refactoring legacy code, or when your current test suite becomes too slow or brittle. it is also essential for deciding which specialized testing agent (like api-tester or performance-benchmarker) to deploy.

Question 5

Does it support specific testing tools?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it provides frameworks and examples for popular tools like React Testing Library for unit tests, request/supertest for API integration, and Playwright or Puppeteer for end-to-end user flows.
