Test Coverage by Aspect

  • CLI: 10 requirements (100% of CLI requirements tested)
  • Templates: 6 requirements (100% tested)
  • Automation: 4 requirements (100% tested)
  • Agent: 5 requirements (100% tested)
  • Documentation: 4 requirements (100% tested)
  • Quality: 4 requirements (100% tested)
  • PackageManagement: 3 requirements (100% tested)
  • Constitution: 2 requirements (33% tested)

🚀 What's Next: Phase 5 (Optional Constitutional Testing)

Objectives

  • Add tests for remaining 4 constitutional requirements
  • Achieve 95%+ total testing coverage (41+ of 43 requirements)
  • Complete constitutional framework testing

Remaining Requirements for Phase 5

Constitutional Framework (4 tests needed): - REQ-SK-402: CLI Interface Mandate - REQ-SK-407: Simplicity Gate - REQ-SK-408: Anti-Abstraction Gate - REQ-SK-409: Integration-First Testing

These requirements are more abstract governance principles and may be challenging to test directly. They could be tested via: 1. Static analysis tests - Verify code adheres to principles 2. Documentation tests - Verify principles are documented 3. Integration tests - Verify principles are followed in practice

Example Constitutional Test Structure

# tests/spec_kit/test_constitutional_framework.py

def test_cli_interface_mandate():
    """Test that CLI Interface Mandate (Article II) is documented."""
    constitution_path = Path(...) / "memory" / "constitution.md"
    content = constitution_path.read_text()

    assert "REQ-SK-402" in content
    assert "CLI" in content and "interface" in content.lower()
    # Could also verify CLI implementation exists
