Can I use this for API and database testing?

Absolutely. It includes dedicated patterns for API contract testing and database integration to ensure your data flow and external interfaces are reliable.

Does this skill help with code coverage?

Yes, it provides specific coverage targets, recommending 80%+ line coverage for unit tests while focusing on business logic and edge cases.

How does it handle testing edge cases?

The skill includes patterns for boundary testing, input validation (like email formatting), and handling invalid cases using parameterized testing frameworks.

What is the PACT testing pyramid approach?

The pyramid strategy prioritizes a high volume of fast unit tests at the base, a moderate amount of integration tests for service interactions, and a small number of critical E2E tests for user journeys.

Security & Testing

Implements robust testing frameworks and quality assurance patterns for the PACT development lifecycle.

About

PACT Testing Strategies is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to guide AI-driven test development across the entire software testing pyramid. It provides structured patterns for unit, integration, and end-to-end testing, ensuring that Claude produces reliable, maintainable, and well-covered codebases. By leveraging industry-standard practices like Arrange-Act-Assert (AAA), behavioral testing, and mock isolation, this skill helps developers establish clear coverage targets and maintain high-quality testing suites throughout the PACT 'Test' phase.
