When to Apply This Skill

• A developer submits an existing test file for quality audit

• A team lead wants to assess test quality before a release or merge

• A CI/CD gate requires a quality verdict before a PR is approved

• A test suite generated externally needs validation before use

Atomic Skills to Load First

Read these files before executing any step:

../unit-test-analyzing-code-coverage/SKILL.md

— Coverage type definitions, severity classification (CRITICAL / HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW), and gap report format — the reference standard for coverage dimension review

../unit-test-generating-unit-tests/SKILL.md

— AAA pattern, naming conventions, correct mocking structure, and exception testing patterns — the reference standard for judging test quality under review

Execution Steps

Read references/index.md before executing any step.

Step 1 — Receive Input

Accepted inputs (one or more):

• Test file(s) to review (required)

• Source code the tests are written against (recommended)

• Coverage report: JSON (coverage.py / Istanbul), XML (JaCoCo / Cobertura)

• Requirements or user stories the tests should satisfy

Step 2 — Invoke test-unit-review-agent

Pass all inputs to ../../agents/unit-testing/test-unit-review-agent.md .

The agent evaluates across 6 dimensions:

• Coverage Completeness — all paths, branches, and edge cases addressed

• Test Correctness — assertions verify the right things, no false positives

• Test Independence — no shared mutable state, no order dependency

• Naming and Readability — self-documenting names, AAA structure visible

• Framework Compliance — correct imports, decorators, no deprecated APIs

• Security and Safety — no real credentials, PII, or live network calls

Step 3 — Deliver Review Report

Always emit a structured report containing:

• Coverage Score (X/10) and Quality Score (X/10)

• Passed checks list

• Issues table: Severity | Location | Issue | Suggested Fix

• Recommended additions (specific missing test cases by name)

• Final verdict

Output Deliverables

review_report.md <- full quality report with verdict revision_instructions.md <- (REQUIRES_REVISION only) annotated fix list ready to pass directly to test-unit-gen-agent
