Critical Behaviors

Critical behaviors are the intended behaviors that must not regress.

A behavior is critical when a failure would affect:

  • Tenant isolation
  • Authentication or authorization
  • Data privacy
  • Billing or financial correctness
  • Production availability
  • Security posture
  • Compliance evidence

Behavior contract format

Each behavior contract should include:

  • Behavior name
  • Allowed behavior
  • Denied behavior
  • Test file
  • Validation command
  • Failure meaning
  • Owner

Example

Behavior Allowed Denied Test
