Weakness axis #5

Tests

Weak tests are not assurance. Securie writes regression, property-based, mutation, and contract tests that lock real intent.

What this axis covers

Auto-generated test fleet across 7 modalities: unit, property-based, mutation, regression, contract, snapshot, integration. Every Securie-shipped fix carries a regression test that proves the fix works AND prevents the bug from recurring under refactor.

Why now

Teams inherit tests that pass against yesterday's implementation, not today's real intent. The result is a test suite that compiles but covers nothing meaningful. The mutation-quality gate Securie uses (>=0.8) catches that — a test that fails to detect injected bugs is not a test.

Where it hides in your codebase

  • Test names that lie about what they test
  • Tests that exercise the happy path but never the failure modes
  • Tests that assert on stale snapshots after a real bug shipped
  • Tests that mock the dependency under test (no real verification)
  • Tests with 100% coverage and 10% mutation kill rate

How Securie handles it

/slam skill productized

The intent-vs-test generator extracts what the code is supposed to do, then synthesizes tests that lock it in. Every test passes the mutation-quality gate (≥0.8 kill rate) before it ships.

Test-suite-verified regression coverage

Every fix PR ships with a regression test that re-creates the original bug in a sandbox, confirms the fix kills it, and proves the bug stays dead across future refactors.

Property-based + fuzz harnesses

Coverage-guided fuzz across 14 languages (libFuzzer / AFL++ / cargo-fuzz / atheris / Jazzer / go-fuzz). Discovered crashes ship as fix PRs with the crash-reproducing seed in-tree.

What this axis is NOT

Not a coverage tool

Coverage measures what code runs in tests; mutation-quality measures whether tests actually catch bugs. Securie optimizes for the latter — coverage is a lagging indicator.

Not a test framework

Securie generates tests in your existing framework (jest / vitest / pytest / cargo test / etc.). It doesn't replace the harness; it fills the test suite.
