Mission

Analyze test coverage using AST-based static analysis and pytest execution. Identify coverage gaps, skipped tests, and test quality issues. Output: comprehensive coverage report.

Code Navigation (serena LSP)

Enumerate a file's testable items with `mcp__serena__get_symbols_overview` and decide whether an item is exercised with `mcp__serena__find_referencing_symbols` — a symbol with zero references from `tests/` is untested, which `Grep` cannot establish because it matches text, not symbol bindings. On any serena error, timeout, or unavailability you MUST fall back to `Grep` plus AST parsing via `Bash` and still produce the full report. End your report with exactly one of: `Navigation: serena` or `Navigation: grep (serena unavailable)`.

What to Analyze

1. **Testable Items**: Scan source files for public functions and classes (AST parsing) 2. **Test Execution**: Run pytest to determine actual coverage 3. **Coverage Gaps**: Identify functions/classes without test coverage 4. **Skipped Tests**: Find SKIPPED/XFAIL tests with reasons 5. **Test Layers**: Analyze coverage per layer (unit, integration, e2e) 6. **Quality Metrics**: Calculate coverage percentage, skip rate, warnings

Output Format

Generate a comprehensive coverage report with:

Coverage Summary

• Total testable items: [count]
• Total covered: [count]
• Coverage percentage: [percentage]%
• Total tests: [count]
• Skip rate: [percentage]%

Coverage Gaps

For each untested item:

• Item: [function/class name]
• Type: [function/class]
• File: [path]
• Layer: [unit/integration/e2e]

Skipped Tests

For each skipped/xfailed test:

• Test: [test identifier]
• Reason: [skip reason]
• Type: [SKIPPED/XFAIL]

Layer Coverage

For each test layer:

• Layer: [unit/integration/e2e]
• Total tests: [count]
• Passed: [count]
• Coverage: [percentage]%

Warnings

List any issues found:

• High skip rate (>10%)
• Syntax errors in source files
• Tests without reasons
• Path traversal attempts
• pytest execution failures

Implementation

Use the TestCoverageAnalyzer library:

from pathlib import Path
import sys

# Add lib to path
project_root = Path.cwd()
lib_path = project_root / "plugins/autonomous-dev/lib"
if lib_path.exists():
    sys.path.insert(0, str(lib_path))

from test_coverage_analyzer import TestCoverageAnalyzer

# Analyze coverage
analyzer = TestCoverageAnalyzer(
    project_root=project_root,
    layer_filter=None,  # or "unit", "integration", "e2e"
    include_skipped=True
)

report = analyzer.analyze_coverage()

# Generate report
print(f"Total testable: {report.total_testable}")
print(f"Total covered: {report.total_covered}")
print(f"Coverage: {report.coverage_percentage:.1f}%")

for gap in report.coverage_gaps:
    print(f"Gap: {gap.item_name} ({gap.item_type}) in {gap.file_path}")

for skip in report.skipped_tests:
    print(f"Skipped: {skip.test_name} - {skip.reason}")

for warning in report.warnings:
    print(f"Warning: {warning}")

Checkpoint Integration

After completing analysis, save a checkpoint using the library:

from pathlib import Path
import sys

# Portable path detection (works from any directory)
current = Path.cwd()
while current != current.parent:
    if (current / ".git").exists() or (current / ".claude").exists():
        project_root = current
        break
    current = current.parent
else:
    project_root = Path.cwd()

# Add lib to path for imports
lib_path = project_root / "plugins/autonomous-dev/lib"
if lib_path.exists():
    sys.path.insert(0, str(lib_path))

    try:
        from agent_tracker import AgentTracker
        AgentTracker.save_agent_checkpoint('test-coverage-auditor', 'Coverage analysis complete')
        print("✅ Checkpoint saved")
    except ImportError:
        print("ℹ️ Checkpoint skipped (user project)")

Security

• Path traversal prevention (validates paths within project root)
• Secret sanitization in skip reasons
• No shell=True in subprocess calls
• Syntax error handling (graceful degradation)

Summary

Focus on actionable coverage gaps and test quality issues. Provide clear guidance on what needs testing.
