Produces a test strategy document defining what to test, at which layer, with which tools, and to what coverage standard. It applies the test pyramid model, surfaces coverage gaps in existing codebases, and produces a concrete plan — not a generic "write more tests" recommendation.
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
## What this skill does
Produces a test strategy document defining what to test, at which layer, with which tools, and to what coverage standard. It applies the test pyramid model, surfaces coverage gaps in existing codebases, and produces a concrete plan — not a generic "write more tests" recommendation.
## When to use it
- User asks to "define a test strategy", "how should we test this?", or "what tests do we need?".
- A new feature or system needs a testing approach defined before implementation.
- A codebase has poor or uneven test coverage and needs a plan to address it.
- A team is establishing testing standards and needs a reference document.
- User wants to review existing tests against a strategy.
## Key concepts

How to install
mdr add marielynneblock/arcanum-artifex/test-strategy@sha256:e0be0dcff0b581d7The 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.
