Analyze Test Pyramid Command
Analyze the current test distribution and recommend improvements for a healthier test pyramid.
Process
Step 1: Discover Tests
If a test directory is provided, use it. Otherwise, search for common test patterns:
# .NET projects
find . -name "*.Tests.csproj" -o -name "*Tests*.csproj"
find . -name "*Test*.cs" -type f
# Count tests
grep -r "\[Fact\]\|\[Theory\]" --include="*.cs" | wc -l
Step 2: Categorize Tests
Identify test levels by project/folder naming:
- Unit:
*.Unit.Tests,*.Domain.Tests - Integration:
*.Integration.Tests,*.Api.Tests - E2E:
*.E2E.Tests,*.Acceptance.Tests
Count tests at each level:
| Level | Project | Test Count |
|-------|---------|------------|
| Unit | MyApp.Domain.Tests | 150 |
| Unit | MyApp.Application.Tests | 80 |
| Integration | MyApp.Api.Tests | 60 |
| E2E | MyApp.E2E.Tests | 40 |
Step 3: Load Pyramid Skill
Invoke the test-strategy:test-pyramid-design skill for shape analysis patterns.
Step 4: Analyze Distribution
Calculate percentages and identify shape:
## Current Distribution
| Level | Count | Percentage | Target |
|-------|-------|------------|--------|
| Unit | 230 | 70% | 70% ✅ |
| Integration | 60 | 18% | 20% ✅ |
| E2E | 40 | 12% | 10% ⚠️ |
**Shape Assessment**: Near-healthy pyramid with slight E2E heaviness
Step 5: Identify Anti-Patterns
Check for common issues:
- Ice Cream Cone: E2E > 30%
- Hourglass: Integration > 50%
- Inverted Pyramid: Unit < 50%
- Missing Layer: Any level at 0%
Step 6: Generate Recommendations
Based on analysis:
## Recommendations
### Immediate Actions
1. **Reduce E2E tests** by 2% (8 tests)
- Review for tests that can be pushed to integration level
- Identify tests duplicating lower-level coverage
### Test Migration Candidates
| Current Level | Candidate | Recommended Level | Reason |
|---------------|-----------|-------------------|--------|
| E2E | Login validation | Integration | API test sufficient |
| E2E | Form validation | Unit | Pure logic test |
| Integration | Data transform | Unit | No I/O needed |
### Coverage Gaps
- Unit tests needed for: [business logic areas]
- Integration tests needed for: [API boundaries]
