Quality Assurance - High-Density Standards

Standards for maintaining code hygiene, automated checks, and testing integrity.

Priority: P1 (MAINTENANCE)

Standards for maintaining code quality, automated checks, and testing integrity.

🔍 Code Quality & Linting

• Zero Tolerance: Treat all linter warnings/infos as fatal errors in CI.
• Automated Formatting: Enforce strict formatting on every commit using hooks.
• Type Safety: Never use any or dynamic unless absolutely necessary. Use specific interfaces/types for all data boundaries.
• Dead Code: Proactively remove unused imports, variables, and deprecated methods.

🧪 Testing & TDD

• F-I-R-S-T: Test must be Fast, Independent, Repeatable, Self-Validating, and Timely.
• TDD (Red-Green-Refactor): See our dedicated TDD Skill for strict cycle enforcement.
• Edge Cases: Always test null/empty states, boundary limits, and error conditions.
• Mock Dependencies: Isolate code by mocking external systems (APIs, DBs) to ensure deterministic results.

🔺 The Test Pyramid

• Unit Tests (70%): Fast, isolated, test individual functions/classes. (TDD focus).
