CogitaveLearn

Test to the standard and pass the quality gate

Learn how Cogitave tests a change - the pyramid/trophy shape, the diff-coverage and mutation gates, flaky-test quarantine, the runnable harness, and the craftsmanship review bar - so you can test your own change and get it through the gate.

By the end of this module, you'll be able to:

  • Choose the right test shape and tier for a change, and apply the rule that overrides the ratios.
  • Explain why coverage is a floor, why diff coverage is the blocking gate, and why mutation testing is the real adequacy gate for critical modules.
  • Use the test harness - the runners, the inner and outer loop, and the gate-to-DoD map - to run the right tier and read the gate.
  • Pass the code-craftsmanship review bar, favoring correctness by construction and never applying a principle dogmatically.
