Choosing What to Test

Agent skill
1 skill

Use this skill to pick which behaviors to cover in an Android test suite using Google's five-category state vocabulary plus the explicit "what NOT to test" list from /training/testing/fundamentals/what-to-test. Covers state on screen, state held in memory (ViewModels), persisted state (DB / DataStore / files), other state (system bars / system services), and errors / edge cases. Includes Google's verbatim "Tests to Avoid" list (framework entry points such as activities / fragments / services should not have business logic) and an edge-case mining checklist. Use when the user asks "what should I write tests for", "should I unit-test this Activity", "do I need a test for this util class", "what edge cases am I missing", or "should I test the ViewModel or the Composable".
