Test Pyramid Validation

Pre-push Enforcement

Run the test ratio check before pushing. Fail the push if the ratio is outside tolerance. Print counts, ratios, and suggested actions to correct imbalance. Store a test-pyramid-report.json artifact with counts per bucket.

Usage Examples

Example: python scripts/test_pyramid.py --report test-pyramid-report.json. Example: jq ".ratios" test-pyramid-report.json to confirm ratios. Example: rg "@pytest.mark.integration" tests/ to verify tagging.

Integration Patterns

Pattern: Use folder structure tests/unit, tests/integration, tests/e2e. Pattern: Use tags like @integration in Jest or pytest.mark.integration in Pytest. Pattern: Fail pre-push if integration tests exceed 20% to avoid drift. Pattern: Track execution time by bucket to highlight slow unit tests.

Troubleshooting

If ratio checks fail unexpectedly, confirm tagging conventions are consistent. If tests are misclassified, update tags before adjusting the ratio thresholds. If e2e tests dominate time, consider splitting into smoke vs full suites. If unit tests are too slow, profile for excessive I/O or heavy fixtures.
