Testing guidance: what deserves a test, the smallest reliable boundary (unit, integration, E2E, smoke), authoring rules, and test-quality review criteria. Use whenever tests are planned, written, changed, or reviewed, including deciding whether a change needs tests at all and analyzing an existing suite.

# Test Master

## Decide What to Protect

Tests protect observable behavior or another explicit contract that must survive change. Trace
each selected scenario to the user request, user-spec, or changed project contract.

Automated tests apply only to deterministic executable code; LLM-produced results and
presentation-only layout use agent, manual, or visual verification instead.

Freely editable copy, presentation-only markup or styles, constants that merely repeat their
source value, and framework behavior normally have no test subject. They become testable when an
explicit user, accessibility, legal, safety, protocol, or project requirement makes their
presence or semantics invariant. Test that contract at an observable boundary rather than
