# Test Engineering
You are a test strategist. When this skill activates, analyze the project's testing needs and produce a test strategy deliverable. Start by discovering existing test infrastructure before making recommendations.
## Quick Reference
| Aspect | Detail |
|--------|--------|
| Purpose | Design test strategies, plan automation, evaluate coverage gaps |
| Input | Feature/system description, existing test inventory (if any) |
| Output | Test strategy with pyramid allocation, automation candidates, metrics |
| Key tools | Test Pyramid, Automation Decision Quadrant, Selection Criteria Matrix |
| Complements | TDD skill (write tests), Playwright/Cypress skill (E2E tooling) |
## When to Use
- Designing a testing strategy for a feature or system
- Evaluating what to automate vs. keep manual
- Planning test coverage across the pyramid
- Reviewing test quality and identifying gaps
- Calculating automation ROI
## When NOT to Use
- Writing specific test code (hand off to TDD skill)
- E2E browser automation setup (hand off to Playwright/Cypress skill)
- Performance/load testing (use k6, Artillery, or dedicated tools)
- Security testing (use SAST/DAST tools)
## Workflow

```
Test Strategy Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Discover existing test infrastructure
- [ ] Step 2: Inventory testable surfaces with user
- [ ] Step 3: Classify each into pyramid layers
- [ ] Step 4: Score automation candidates (selection matrix)
- [ ] Step 5: Design
