Test to the standard and pass the quality gate
Learn how Cogitave tests a change - the pyramid/trophy shape, the diff-coverage and mutation gates, flaky-test quarantine, the runnable harness, and the craftsmanship review bar - so you can test your own change and get it through the gate.

By the end of this module, you'll be able to:
- Choose the right test shape and tier for a change, and apply the rule that overrides the ratios.
- Explain why coverage is a floor, why diff coverage is the blocking gate, and why mutation testing is the real adequacy gate for critical modules.
- Use the test harness - the runners, the inner and outer loop, and the gate-to-DoD map - to run the right tier and read the gate.
- Pass the code-craftsmanship review bar, favoring correctness by construction and never applying a principle dogmatically.
Prerequisites
- Basic familiarity with writing and running automated tests.
- Helpful, but not required: the "Apply the AGENTS floor" module.
