# Testing Patterns
For verifying test effectiveness through mutation analysis, load the `mutation-testing` skill. Use its mutator rules while planning and writing tests, not only after tests exist. For evaluating test quality against Dave Farley's properties, load the `test-design-reviewer` skill.
## Core Principle
**Test behavior, not implementation.** 100% coverage through business behavior, not implementation details.
**Example:** Validation code in `payment-validator.ts` gets 100% coverage by testing `processPayment()` behavior, NOT by directly testing validator functions.

## Mutation-Aware Test Planning
When planning or writing tests, automatically scan the intended behavior and changed production code against the mutator rules from the `mutation-testing` skill's `resources/mutator-rules.md` resource. A good test should fail if a realistic mutant changes the behavior.
Load that resource when the code under test includes conditionals, arithmetic, equality, boolean logic, array/string operations, optional chaining, or meaningful side effects. Use it to identify likely surviving mutants before the Stryker run.
When the scan finds an obvious gap, add or strengthen a behavior test immediately. When the gap depends on product or domain judgment, use the harness's ask-question facility before choosing a test. Ask one concise question with concrete choices, explain the potential mutant, and state the tradeoff.
