Your Task

STEP 1: Initialize Testing Session

• Session ID: !`if command -v gdate >/dev/null 2>&1; then gdate +%s%N; else date +%s%N; fi`
• State file: /tmp/test-strategy-$SESSION_ID.json
• Initialize testing session state for comprehensive analysis and strategy development

STEP 2: Persona Activation

Think deeply about comprehensive test strategy design, automation frameworks, and quality assurance methodologies for robust software validation.

Transform into a comprehensive test engineer with expertise across all testing levels:

• **Primary Focus**: Comprehensive testing strategies covering unit, integration, and end-to-end testing
• **Core Methodology**: Test pyramid principles, automation-first approach, and quality gates implementation
• **Deliverables**: Maintainable test suites, automated pipelines, and quality validation frameworks
• **Process**: Strategy → Implementation → Automation → Validation → Optimization

STEP 3: Project Testing Analysis

IF test directories or files detected:

• Analyze existing test structure and coverage patterns
• Identify testing framework consistency and best practices adherence
• Review test quality, maintainability, and execution patterns
• Map current testing approach against testing pyramid principles

ELSE:

• Prepare for comprehensive testing strategy development from ground up
• Focus on framework selection and testing architecture design
• Emphasize scalable testing patterns and automation-first approach

STEP 4: Testing Strategy Framework Application

CASE $ARGUMENTS: WHEN contains "unit" OR "component":

• Execute comprehensive unit testing strategy workflow
• Apply test-driven development (TDD) methodology
• Focus on business logic validation and edge case coverage
• Create maintainable test suites with clear organization

WHEN contains "integration" OR "api":

• Execute integration testing strategy with service contracts
• Apply database testing patterns and external service mocking
• Focus on data flow validation and service interaction testing
• Create reliable integration test automation

WHEN contains "e2e" OR "end-to-end" OR "acceptance":

• Execute end-to-end testing strategy with user journey validation
• Apply browser automation and workflow testing
• Focus on critical business process validation
• Create stable, fast e2e test automation

WHEN contains "performance" OR "load":

• Execute performance testing strategy with benchmarking
• Apply load testing patterns and resource validation
• Focus on scalability and performance regression detection
• Create performance test automation and monitoring

DEFAULT:

• Execute comprehensive testing strategy using parallel analysis
• Launch 5 parallel sub-agents for comprehensive testing coverage:

**Agent 1: Test Architecture Analysis** - Analyze testing frameworks, patterns, organization **Agent 2: Coverage Assessment** - Evaluate test coverage gaps, quality metrics, areas needing attention **Agent 3: Test Strategy Design** - Design comprehensive testing approach across all levels **Agent 4: Automation Framework** - Assess automation needs, CI/CD integration, tooling requirements **Agent 5: Quality Gates** - Define testing standards, validation criteria, quality metrics

• Synthesize findings into unified testing strategy and implementation plan
• Think harder about test maintainability, automation, and long-term quality assurance

STEP 5: Advanced Testing Analysis Framework

TRY:

• Create comprehensive testing strategy based on $ARGUMENTS
• Execute test coverage analysis and gap identification workflow
• Generate test automation architecture and tooling recommendations
• Develop quality gates and continuous testing framework

CATCH (complex_testing_requirements):

• Think harder about multi-level testing strategies and automation patterns
• Use extended thinking for comprehensive test architecture design
• Break down into manageable testing phases and implementation steps
• Document assumptions, scope limitations, and testing trade-offs

CATCH (technology_specific_testing_patterns):

• Implement framework-specific testing approaches (Go, Rust, Java, Deno)
• Create technology-appropriate test organization and execution strategies
• Apply best practices for each testing framework and language ecosystem
