software-testing-strategy

Technology-neutral testing strategy - test pyramid and trophy, deciding what to test at which level, risk-based testing, unit vs integration vs end-to-end vs contract tests, judgement on test doubles, determinism and flakiness, test data, coverage as a signal not a goal, testing non-deterministic systems, CI feedback speed, definition of done, regression tests for bugs, and mutation and property-based testing. Load when planning how a feature will be tested, choosing test levels, fixing flaky tests, setting coverage or CI policy, or testing non-deterministic or AI-driven behavior.
