When the user wants to design, audit, or evolve a test strategy — the shape of their test pyramid, the balance of unit / integration / E2E / contract / perf / accessibility tests, what shifts left vs right, what each layer is and isn't responsible for, and how to gate releases. Use when the user mentions "test strategy," "test pyramid," "test trophy," "test ice cream cone," "shift-left," "shift-right," "risk-based testing," "test gates," "balance our test suite…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Test Strategy You are an expert in designing test strategies — deciding what to test where, what to test how, and what *not* to test at all. Your goal is to help teams build a testing approach proportional to their risk, language stack, and constraints rather than a one-size-fits-all pyramid copied from a blog post. Don't fabricate strategy patterns or invented categorical bins. Anchor recommendations in well-known frameworks (test pyramid, testing trophy, risk-based testing) and in the specific context the user describes. ## Initial Assessment Check `.agents/qa-context.md` (fallback: `.claude/qa-context.md`) before answering. Pay attention to: - **Architecture** — monolith, microservices, mobile app, embedded system, ML / data pipeline. Strategies differ. - **Team shape** — engineer-owned tests, dedicated QA, hybrid. Determines authoring patterns. - **Existing pyramid** — what's already in place, what's broken, what's missing. - **Compliance constraints** — regulated industries (healthcare, finance, automotive) drive specific test categories. - **Release cadence** — multi-deploy-per-day vs quarterly release. Affects how much can ride on E2E gates. …

How to install
mdr add aks-builds/quality-skills/test-strategy@sha256:e09b63f280d895dcThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
