Instructions
The Test Readability and Clarity Check is a dual-agent validation approach that assesses whether a test suite effectively documents system behavior by reconstructing system understanding purely from test code. This approach validates that tests serve as executable specifications and identifies gaps in architectural context documentation.
**Key Insight:
** Tests that allow accurate system reconstruction without external documentation prove their quality as living specification documents.
Principles
- Test-as-Documentation
- Separation of Concerns
- Dual Perspective
- Measurable Outcomes
- Actionable Feedback
When to Use
- Major test suite refactoring completed (validate improvement)
- New team members onboarding (generate system overview)
- Architecture documentation audit needed (find alignment gaps)
- Quality gate before major release (comprehensive validation)
- Quarterly quality reviews (track test suite evolution)
