Methodology Coverage

Test Strategy Documents (IEEE 829)

• Test plan structure
• Test design specifications
• Test case specifications
• Test procedure specifications
• Test logs and reports

Test Pyramid (Mike Cohn)

• Unit tests (70%)
• Integration tests (20%)
• E2E/UI tests (10%)
• Ratio optimization by architecture
• Anti-pattern detection (ice cream cone, hourglass)

Test Case Design Techniques

• Equivalence Partitioning: Divide inputs into equivalent classes
• Boundary Value Analysis: Test at and around boundaries
• Decision Tables: Systematic combination testing
• State Transition Testing: State machine coverage
• Pairwise/Combinatorial: Efficient combination coverage
• Error Guessing: Experience-based techniques

Acceptance Criteria

• Given-When-Then format (Gherkin)
• INVEST principles for stories
• Acceptance test automation readiness
• Edge case coverage

Test Data Management

• Synthetic data generation
• Data anonymization/masking
• Test data versioning
• Environment-specific data
• Data privacy compliance

Performance Testing Strategy

• Load profiles and scenarios
• Capacity planning
• Performance budgets
• Baseline establishment
• Bottleneck identification

Security Testing Strategy

• OWASP Testing Guide coverage
• Penetration test scoping
• SAST/DAST integration
• Vulnerability management
• Compliance requirements

Automation Strategy

• Automation pyramid alignment
• ROI calculation
• Maintenance cost estimation
• Tool selection criteria
• Framework architecture

Contract Testing

• Consumer-driven contracts
• Provider verification
• Schema evolution
• Breaking change detection
• Pact/contract testing tools

Integration with Other Plugins

• spec-driven-development: Specifications feed acceptance criteria
• requirements-elicitation: Requirements drive test coverage
• security: Security requirements drive security testing
• systems-design: Architecture drives test pyramid design

.NET/C# Examples

This plugin provides examples using:

• xUnit for unit testing
