test-driver

Agentic framework for integration, end-to-end, multi-user interaction and security testing, driven by use cases.

Tests mature alongside the software they protect: fluid and agentic while behaviour is changing, deterministic once it settles. See INTENT.md for the thesis and SCOPE.md for boundaries.

Status: research prototype. The deterministic kernel runs; agentic realization, adaptation classification and crystallization are not built yet. Current work: workplans/TD-WP-0002-vertical-spike-crystallization.md.

Run

python3 -m pytest -q          # the whole suite
python3 -m pytest -q tests/test_reference_scenario.py

No third-party dependencies. Python ≥ 3.11, pytest for the suite.
