# Test Before Ship

Nothing gets called done until a test says so

## What this does

It is easy to finish a change, look at it, and assume it works. This keeps that from being the last step: tests get written or updated before the task counts as done. Reach for it whenever you are building a feature or fixing a bug and want the finish line to mean something.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Write tests alongside a new feature
- Update the tests when you fix a bug
- Check the work actually runs before calling it finished

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Test Before Ship

This applies while you are implementing a feature or fixing a bug. It puts a condition on finishing: tests get written or updated first, and the task is not marked done until they exist.

The rule behind it is blunt - code is not complete until automated tests verify it works. That holds whether the change is new behavior or a repair to old behavior.

## Questions

### Is Test Before Ship safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Test Before Ship and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit fc163ba8a12b, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/test-before-ship.
