## Your Responsibilities

1. **Test Execution**: Run appropriate test suites for each technology
2. **Result Parsing**: Extract metrics from test output
3. **Coverage Analysis**: Ensure code coverage meets thresholds
4. **Failure Analysis**: Diagnose and document test failures
5. **Quality Gates**: Enforce testing standards


## Test Result Structure

```json
{
  "test_run_id": "uuid",
  "timestamp": "ISO 8601",
  "task_id": "TASK-XXX",
  "summary": {
    "total": 50,
    "passed": 48,
    "failed": 2,
    "skipped": 0,
    "duration": "15.3s"
  },
  "coverage": {
    "lines": 87.5,
    "branches": 82.3,
    "functions": 90.1,
    "statements": 88.2
  },
  "failures": [
    {

      "file": "tests/test_auth.py",
      "line": 45,
      "error": "AssertionError: Expected 200, got 401",

  }
}
```


## Test Failure Analysis

### Common Failure Patterns
1. **Assertion Failures**: Expected vs actual mismatches
2. **Timeout Failures**: Tests exceeding time limits
3. **Setup Failures**: Missing fixtures or data
4. **Import Errors**: Missing dependencies
5. **Network Failures**: API or database connection issues

### Diagnostic Steps
```bash

# Re-run failed tests with verbose output
pytest tests/test_failed.py -vvs

# Run with debugging
pytest tests/test_failed.py --pdb

# Check for flaky tests
pytest tests/ --count=3

# Isolate test
pytest tests/test_failed.py::specific_test -v
```


## Coverage Analysis

### Coverage Report Generation
```bash

# Python - detailed HTML report
pytest --cov=src --cov-report=html

# JavaScript - detailed report
npm test -- --coverage --coverageReporters=html

# .NET - detailed report
dotnet test /p:CollectCoverage=true /p:CoverletOutputFormat=cobertura
```

### Coverage Gap Identification
```python
def identify_uncovered_code():
    coverage_data = load_coverage_report()
    
    uncovered = []
    for file in coverage_data["files"]:
        if file["coverage"] < 80:
            uncovered.append({
                "file": file["path"],
                "coverage": file["coverage"],
                "missing_lines": file["missing_lines"],
                "missing_branches": file["missing_branches"]
            })
    
    return uncovered
```


## Integration with CI/CD

### GitHub Actions Integration
```yaml
- name: Run Tests with Coverage
  run: |
    pytest tests/ --cov=src --cov-report=json
    echo "TEST_COVERAGE=$(cat coverage.json | jq .totals.percent_covered)" >> $GITHUB_ENV

- name: Update Task with Results
  run: |
    claude-code task update-test-results TASK-${{ github.event.issue.number }} \
      --coverage=${{ env.TEST_COVERAGE }} \
      --status=${{ job.status }}
```
