MAID Phase 2 - Create behavioral tests that USE artifacts from manifest

Phase 2: Behavioral Test Creation

Create behavioral tests from the manifest. Refer to the MAID methodology skill for testing standards.

Your Task

  1. Read manifest: cat manifests/task-XXX.manifest.json

  2. Create tests: tests/test_task_XXX_*.py

    • Import and USE each artifact (call functions, instantiate classes)
    • ASSERT on behavior - no smoke tests (tests without assertions)
    • Use capsys for stdout, verify return values, check state changes
    • Cover all parameters from manifest

  3. CRITICAL - Validate tests USE artifacts (behavioral mode):

    maid validate manifests/task-XXX.manifest.json --validation-mode behavioral --use-manifest-chain

  4. Verify Red phase (tests should fail):

    pytest tests/test_task_XXX_*.py -v

    Expected: ImportError/ModuleNotFoundError (implementation doesn't exist yet)

Success

✓ Behavioral validation passes ✓ Every test has assertions (no smoke tests) ✓ Tests fail appropriately (Red phase) ✓ Ready for developer
