Test Strategy

A useful test strategy names what evidence is needed and why shallow coverage is not enough.

For bijux-proteomics-core, the test story should show how one durable rule stays singular across contracts, lifecycle behavior, and runtime-adjacent seams.

Strategy Model

flowchart TB
    rule["durable core rule"]
    contract["contract and schema tests"]
    lifecycle["lifecycle and validation proof"]
    seams["runtime-adjacent seam checks"]
    release["release confidence"]

    rule --> contract
    contract --> lifecycle
    lifecycle --> seams
    seams --> release

This page should help a reader see why core tests exist in layers. The package becomes risky when proof of a rule is scattered across several test types but no page explains how they join up.

Review Rules

  • favor contract, lifecycle, and schema tests that explain the rule being defended
  • cover runtime-adjacent seams where downstream drift is most likely
  • prefer targeted proof of durable meaning over broad but vague regression suites

First Proof Check

  • packages/bijux-proteomics-core/tests
  • src/bijux_proteomics/program_spec.py and targets.py
  • src/bijux_proteomics/lifecycle.py and validation.py

Design Pressure

The common mistake is to accumulate regression tests without proving that lifecycle, schema, and execution contracts still agree about the same rule.
