Always Works Testing

Quality score: 70/100 · Category: Engineering · Sub-category: testing

Default testing standard for all implementation work - ensures code actually works through mandatory execution validation before confirming to user. Applies automatically whenever writing, modifying, debugging, or implementing any code (scripts, APIs, UI, configs, data operations, logic changes). This is the baseline expectation, not an optional extra - every implementation must be verified through actual execution, not assumed correct.
