# Testing Swarm Strategy

## Purpose
Comprehensive testing through distributed execution.

## Activation

### Using MCP Tools
```javascript
// Initialize testing swarm
mcp__claude-flow__swarm_init({
  "topology": "star",
  "maxAgents": 7,
  "strategy": "parallel"
})

// Orchestrate testing task
mcp__claude-flow__task_orchestrate({
  "task": "test application",
  "strategy": "parallel",
  "priority": "high"
})
```

### Using CLI (Fallback)
`npx claude-flow swarm "test application" --strategy testing`

## Agent Roles

### Agent Spawning with MCP
```javascript
// Spawn testing agents
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn({
  "type": "tester",
  "name": "Unit Tester",
  "capabilities": ["unit-testing", "mocking", "coverage"]
})

mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn({
  "type": "tester",
  "name": "Integration Tester",
  "capabilities": ["integration", "api-testing", "contract-testing"]
})

mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn({
  "type": "tester",
  "name": "E2E Tester",
  "capabilities": ["e2e", "ui-testing", "user-flows"]
})

mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn({
  "type": "tester",
  "name": "Performance Tester",
  "capabilities": ["load-testing", "stress-testing", "benchmarking"]
})

mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn({
  "type": "monitor",
  "name": "Security Tester",
  "capabilities": ["security-testing", "penetration-testing", "vulnerability-scanning"]
})
```

## Test Coverage

### Coverage Analysis
```javascript
// Quality assessment
mcp__claude-flow__quality_assess({
  "target": "test-coverage",
  "criteria": ["line-coverage", "branch-coverage", "function-coverage"]
})

// Edge case detection
mcp__claude-flow__pattern_recognize({
  "data": testScenarios,
  "patterns": ["edge-case", "boundary-condition", "error-path"]
})
```

### Test Execution
```javascript
// Parallel test execution
mcp__claude-flow__parallel_execute({
  "tasks": [
    { "id": "unit-tests", "command": "npm run test:unit" },
    { "id": "integration-tests", "command": "npm run test:integration" },
    { "id": "e2e-tests", "command": "npm run test:e2e" }
  ]
})

// Batch processing for test suites
mcp__claude-flow__batch_process({
  "items": testSuites,
  "operation": "execute-test-suite"
})
```

### Performance Testing
```javascript
// Run performance benchmarks
mcp__claude-flow__benchmark_run({
  "suite": "performance-tests"
})

// Security scanning
mcp__claude-flow__security_scan({
  "target": "application",
  "depth": "comprehensive"
})
```

### Monitoring and Reporting
```javascript
// Monitor test execution
mcp__claude-flow__swarm_monitor({
  "swarmId": "testing-swarm",
  "interval": 2000
})

// Generate test report
mcp__claude-flow__performance_report({
  "format": "detailed",
  "timeframe": "current-run"
})

// Get test results
mcp__claude-flow__task_results({
  "taskId": "test-execution-001"
})
```
