Template Completeness

[x] Type — Feature
[x] Lineage — Standalone, discovered during docs robustness audit
[x] Repo — ldraney/westside-basketball
[x] User Story — present
[x] Context — present
[x] File Targets — present (1 create, 2 reference)
[x] Feature Flag — none (correct for docs-only)
[x] Acceptance Criteria — 6 items
[x] Test Expectations — no automated tests, documentation only
[x] Constraints — present
[x] Checklist — present (missing "Tests pass" item from template, but appropriate given no-test expectation)
[x] Related — present

Traceability

[x] story:WS-S1 label — present on board item
[ ] story note MISMATCH — WS-S1 is "As superadmin, I want to deploy platform changes via IaC so that infrastructure is reproducible and auditable." The issue's own user story is "As a developer contributing to westside-basketball, I want a testing strategy doc." Testing docs are developer experience, not IaC deployment. [SCOPE] Assign correct story or create a developer-docs story (e.g. WS-S39).
[x] arch:docs label — present on board item
[ ] arch note MISSING — search for "arch-docs" returned no results. [SCOPE] Create architecture note arch-docs for the documentation component.
[x] Forgejo issue — #138, open, valid URL

File Targets

[x] docs/testing-strategy.md — verified: file does NOT exist yet (correct, this is a create target). Parent docs/ directory exists with 7 existing docs.
[x] test/ directory — verified: exists with subdirectories controllers, helpers, lib, mailers, models, services, support, and test_helper.rb
[x] Gemfile — verified: exists

Repo Placement

OK. Issue filed on ldraney/westside-basketball, issue body says ldraney/westside-basketball. Single repo, no cross-repo concerns.

Dependencies

Part of a docs batch (issues #136-#141), all in backlog. Sibling tickets:

#1671 — Docs: local dev setup guide (#136)
#1672 — Docs: CI/CD pipeline architecture (#137)
#1673 — Docs: testing strategy (#138) — THIS ITEM
#1674 — Docs: security posture (#139)
#1675 — Docs: observability and alerting (#140)
#1676 — Docs: deployment and infrastructure (#141)

No blocking dependencies. All are independent docs and can be worked in any order. No in-progress items block this ticket.

Acceptance Criteria

6 criteria, all verifiable by an agent:

[x] File existence check — trivial to verify
[x] Content coverage (philosophy, test types, fixtures, run commands, CI) — verifiable by grepping doc content

Criteria are clear and testable. No missing criteria identified.

Blast Radius

Minimal. Creates one new markdown file. No code changes. No existing testing documentation found in the repo to conflict with. No downstream consumers affected.

Decomposition Assessment

No decomposition needed:

1 file to create, 2 files to reference — single repo
6 acceptance criteria (all about content in one file)
Estimated agent work: <5 minutes
Fits comfortably in a single agent pass

Recommendation

[SCOPE] Story label mismatch: story:WS-S1 is about IaC deployment, but this ticket is developer testing documentation. Either create a new developer-docs user story (e.g. WS-S39: "As a developer, I want project documentation so that onboarding is fast and conventions are clear") or reassign to a more fitting existing story. This affects all 5 sibling docs tickets (#136-#141) that also use WS-S1.
[SCOPE] Create architecture note arch-docs for the documentation component in pal-e-docs.
