    Sample input

    User request: "Help me set up integration tests for my Order Service that talks to PostgreSQL and a Payment Service."

    Sample output

    Generated Output (excerpt): ## Integration Test Architecture Plan **Scope** Order Service API endpoints and its interactions with Payment Service and PostgreSQL. **Recommended Test Strategy** | Boundary | Approach | Tooling | |----------------------|--------------|----------------------------------| | PostgreSQL | Real | Testcontainers + Prisma | | Payment Service | Contract | Pact (consumer-driven) | | Email Service | Mock | WireMock | **Database Fixture Strategy** Use factory functions (`createOrder`, `createUser`) with transactional rollback after each test. For tests that must span transactions, use truncation in `beforeEach`. **External Service Mocking Strategy** - Payment Service: Contract tests (Pact) because it is owned by another team - Email Service: WireMock stubs for deterministic behavior **CI Pipeline Requirements** 1. Start PostgreSQL + Redis containers 2. Run database migrations 3. Start the Order Service 4. Run integration tests 5. Tear down containers **Example Test Structure** `tests/integration/orders/create-order.test.ts` using the Arrange-Act-Assert pattern with proper cleanup.

    About This Skill

    What it does

    The Integration Test Architect provides a production-grade framework for designing and scaffolding robust integration and contract test suites. It moves beyond simple unit testing to address the complex boundaries where systems often fail: service-to-service communication, database interactions, and third-party API dependencies.

    How it works

    The skill follows a disciplined, multi-phase architectural process. It assesses your service boundaries, determines the optimal dependency strategy (Testcontainers vs. Pact vs. WireMock), and designs a scalable database fixture strategy using factories and transactional isolation. Unlike a raw AI prompt, this skill enforces a strict Operating Procedure that prevents flakiness and ensures your CI pipeline handles service orchestration correctly.

    Supported Tools & Frameworks

    • Infrastructure: Testcontainers, Docker Compose, Flyway/Liquibase.
    • Mocking & Contracts: WireMock, Pact, VCR, Prism.
    • CI/CD: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI.
    • Patterns: Arrange-Act-Assert, Transactional Rollback, Consumer-Driven Contracts.

    Why use this skill?

    Generic AI prompts often suggest "mocking everything," which leads to tests that pass while the production system fails. This skill provides a defensible testing strategy, selecting real dependencies where behavior matters and contract tests where interfaces are shared. The result is a maintainable, high-speed test suite that catches integration bugs before they hit production.

    Use Cases

    • Scaffold integration tests with proper database isolation and cleanup.
    • Implement Consumer-Driven Contract testing using Pact.
    • Configure CI pipelines for complex multi-service test orchestration.
    • Transition flaky E2E browser tests into reliable integration tests.
