TDD & Unit Testing Gate FAQs

Question 1

What is the minimum coverage threshold for this skill?

Accepted Answer

The skill enforces a mandatory 85% branch coverage minimum as a baseline. While project rules can raise this threshold, they are not permitted to lower it.

Question 2

How does the skill handle dead code in coverage reports?

Accepted Answer

Dead code must be deleted rather than excluded from measurement. Using annotations to ignore code is only permitted with specific documentation and justification.

Question 3

Does this skill support both Go and Node.js environments?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it includes pre-configured verification commands for Go (go test) and TypeScript/JavaScript (npm test) with coverage reporting.

Question 4

Can I use integration tests to pass this gate?

Accepted Answer

No, this gate specifically targets unit tests. Integration tests involving databases or external APIs are considered out of scope for Gate 3 to ensure business logic isolation.

Question 5

What happens if my test coverage is 84.9%?

Accepted Answer

The gate will fail. The skill follows a strict 'no rounding' policy, meaning anything below the 85% threshold is a hard fail requiring more tests.
