Testing & Quality Requirements
Purpose
To ensure product quality, enable safe changes, and support independent testing without requiring full platform deployments or coordination across teams.
Scope
Test isolation strategies, dependency mocking, contract validation, test coverage requirements, performance testing, and integration test patterns.
Requirements
| ID | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| REQ-TEST-1 | Isolated Testing | Products MUST be testable in isolation, with external dependencies mocked, stubbed, or simulated so tests do not require full platform deployments. |
| REQ-TEST-2 | Sufficient Test Coverage | Automated tests MUST cover core behaviour sufficiently for safe production deployment, including unit, component, and integration tests per product. |
| REQ-TEST-3 | Independent Performance Testing | Load and performance tests for a product MUST NOT depend on other products’ ability to handle the same load and MUST use isolated or mocked dependencies. |
| REQ-TEST-4 | Contract-Based Integration Tests | Integration tests between products MUST validate behaviour through public contracts only and MUST avoid reliance on internal implementation details or shared test databases. |
