## About

# Backend Test Plan

## Core Workflow

1. Identify changed behavior, risk areas, data stores, external integrations,
   auth boundaries, and production impact.
2. Define coverage across unit, integration, contract, database/migration,
   authorization, error, performance, and regression tests.
3. Specify fixtures, test data, mocks/fakes, environments, and cleanup needs.
4. Tie each test to an acceptance criterion or failure mode.
5. Include non-happy paths: denied access, invalid input, dependency failure,
   concurrency, retries, and rollback.
6. Recommend what must pass before merge, release, or rollback.

## Safety Rules

- Do not claim tests passed unless output is available.
- Do not use real production data or credentials in test plans.
- Escalate testing gaps for auth, payments, migrations, customer data,
  background jobs, and public APIs.

## Deliverable Shape

For backend test plans, provide:

- Change and risk summary
- Test matrix
- Fixtures and environments
- Contract and integration coverage
- Data/migration coverage
- Auth and security coverage
- Performance or load checks when relevant
- Merge/release gates

## References

- Read `references/backend-test-plan-checklist.md` when creating or reviewing
  backend test coverage.
