Test Strategy

Most teams either overttest with brittle end-to-end suites or undertest because they don't know where to draw the line. This skill helps you make the architectural decisions: unit versus integration versus e2e, what belongs at each layer, and how to structure a test suite that catches bugs without slowing you down. It pushes the Testing Trophy over the classic pyramid, advocates for integration tests as your workhorse, and includes a decision matrix for choosing test types. Useful when designing test strategy for a new service, dealing with flaky tests, or arguing about coverage targets. Won't write the actual test code, just the judgment calls around what and how to test.
