+# Database Testing
+
+<default_to_action>
+When testing database operations:
+1. VALIDATE schema (tables, columns, constraints exist as expected)
+2. TEST data integrity (unique, foreign key, check constraints)
+3. VERIFY migrations (forward works, rollback works, data preserved)
+4. CHECK transaction isolation (ACID properties, concurrent access)
+5. MEASURE query performance (indexes used, execution time)
+
+**Quick DB Testing Checklist:**
+- Schema matches specification
+- Unique constraints prevent duplicates
+- Foreign keys prevent orphaned records
+- Migrations are reversible
+- Transactions roll back on error
+
+**Critical Success Factors:**
+- Database bugs cause data loss/corruption (catastrophic)
+- Test migrations in staging before production
+- Transaction tests catch concurrency bugs
+</default_to_action>
+
+## Quick Reference Card
+
+### When to Use
+- New table/schema creation
+- Migration development
+- Data integrity validation
+- Query performance optimization
+
+### Database Test Types
+| Type | Focus | When |
+|------|-------|------|
+| **Schema** | Structure correct | Table creation |
+| **Integrity** | Constraints work | Data operations |
+| **Migration** | Up/down work | Schema changes |
+| **Transaction** | ACID properties | Concurrent access |
+| **Performance** | Query speed | Optimization |
+
+### ACID Properties
+| Property | Test Focus |
+|----------|------------|
+| **Atomicity** | All or nothing (rollback on error) |
+| **Consistency** | Constraints always valid |
+| **Isolation** | Concurrent transactions don't interfere |
+| **Durability** | Committed data persists |
+

+
+## Schema Testing
+
+```javascript
+test('users table has correct schema', async () => {
+  const schema = await db.raw(`
+    SELECT column_name, data_type, is_nullable
+    FROM information_schema.columns
+    WHERE table_name = 'users'
+  `);
+
+  expect(schema).toContainEqual({
+    column_name: 'id',
+    data_type: 'integer',
+    is_nullable: 'NO'
+  });
+
+  expect(schema).toContainEqual({
+    column_name: 'email',
+    data_type: 'character varying',
+    is_nullable: 'NO'
+  });
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## Data Integrity Testing
+
+```javascript
+test('email must be unique', async () => {
+  await db.users.create({ email: 'test@example.com' });
+
+  await expect(
+    db.users.create({ email: 'test@example.com' })
+  ).rejects.toThrow('unique constraint violation');
+});
+
+test('foreign key prevents orphaned records', async () => {
+  const user = await db.users.create({ email: 'test@example.com' });
+  await db.orders.create({ userId: user.id, total: 100 });
+
+  await expect(
+    db.users.delete({ id: user.id })
+  ).rejects.toThrow('foreign key constraint');
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## Migration Testing
+
+```javascript
+test('migration is reversible', async () => {
+  await migrate('add-users-table');
+
+  // Table exists after migration
+  const tables = await db.raw(`SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables`);
+  expect(tables.map(t => t.table_name)).toContain('users');
+
+  await rollback('add-users-table');
+
+  // Table gone after rollback
+  const tablesAfter = await db.raw(`SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables`);
+  expect(tablesAfter.map(t => t.table_name)).not.toContain('users');
+});
+
+test('migration preserves existing data', async () => {
+  await db.users.create({ email: 'test@example.com' });
+
+  await migrate('add-age-column');
+
+  const user = await db.users.findOne({ email: 'test@example.com' });
+  expect(user).toBeDefined();
+  expect(user.age).toBeNull(); // New column, null default
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## Transaction Testing
+
+```javascript
+test('transaction rolls back on error', async () => {
+  const initialCount = await db.users.count();
+
+  try {
+    await db.transaction(async (trx) => {
+      await trx('users').insert({ email: 'user1@example.com' });
+      await trx('users').insert({ email: 'user2@example.com' });
+      throw new Error('Rollback test');
+    });
+  } catch (error) { /* Expected */ }
+
+  expect(await db.users.count()).toBe(initialCount);
+});
+
+test('concurrent transactions isolated', async () => {
+  const user = await db.users.create({ balance: 100 });
+
+  // Two concurrent withdrawals (race condition test)
+  await Promise.all([
+    db.transaction(async (trx) => {
+      const current = await trx('users').where({ id: user.id }).first();
+      await trx('users').update({ balance: current.balance - 50 });
+    }),
+    db.transaction(async (trx) => {
+      const current = await trx('users').where({ id: user.id }).first();
+      await trx('users').update({ balance: current.balance - 50 });
+    })
+  ]);
+
+  const final = await db.users.findOne({ id: user.id });
+  expect(final.balance).toBe(0); // Proper isolation
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## Agent-Driven Database Testing
+
+```typescript
+// Generate test data with integrity
+await Task("Generate Test Data", {
+  schema: 'ecommerce',
+  tables: ['users', 'products', 'orders'],
+  count: { users: 1000, products: 500, orders: 5000 },
+  preserveReferentialIntegrity: true
+}, "qe-test-data-architect");
+
+// Test migration safety
+await Task("Migration Test", {
+  migration: 'add-payment-status-column',
+  tests: ['forward', 'rollback', 'data-preservation'],
+  environment: 'staging'
+}, "qe-test-executor");

+## Remember
+
+**Database bugs are catastrophic.** Data loss is unrecoverable. Corruption spreads silently. Performance issues compound.
+
+**Test migrations before production:** Forward works, rollback works, data preserved, performance acceptable. Never deploy untested migrations.
+
+**With Agents:** `qe-test-data-architect` generates realistic test data with referential integrity. `qe-test-executor` validates migrations automatically in CI/CD.

+# Advanced Exploratory Testing
+
+<default_to_action>
+When exploring software or investigating quality risks:
+1. CREATE charter with mission, scope, and time-box (45-90 min)
+2. APPLY heuristics: SFDIPOT (quality criteria), FEW HICCUPPS (consistency oracles)
+3. EXPLORE systematically using test tours (Business District, Bad Neighborhood, Historical)
+4. DOCUMENT findings in real-time with notes, screenshots, evidence
+5. DEBRIEF: What learned? What's next? Share via agent memory
+
+**Quick Heuristic Selection:**
+- What to test → SFDIPOT (Structure, Function, Data, Interfaces, Platform, Operations, Time)
+- Recognize problems → FEW HICCUPPS (Familiar, Explainable, World, History, Image, Comparable, Claims, Users, Product, Purpose, Standards)
+- Navigate app → Test Tours (12 types for different exploration strategies)
+
+**Critical Success Factors:**
+- Exploration is skilled, structured thinking - not random clicking
+- Document discoveries, not pre-planned test cases
+- Pair testing reveals more than solo exploration
+</default_to_action>
+
+## Quick Reference Card
+
+### When to Use
+- Investigating new or changed features
+- Finding bugs automation misses
+- Learning unfamiliar systems
+- Risk discovery before test planning
+
+### Session Structure (SBTM)

+|-------|----------|----------|
+| Charter | 5 min | Define mission, scope, focus |
+| Explore | 45-75 min | Systematic investigation |
+| Note | Continuous | Document findings real-time |
+| Debrief | 10-15 min | Summarize, prioritize, share |
+
+### SFDIPOT Heuristic (What to Test)
+| Letter | Focus | Example Questions |
+|--------|-------|------------------|
+| **S**tructure | Is it properly composed? | Code structure, UI layout, data schema |
+| **F**unction | Does it do what it should? | Core features work correctly |
+| **D**ata | Handles data correctly? | CRUD, validation, persistence |
+| **I**nterfaces | Interacts well? | APIs, UI, integrations |
+| **P**latform | Works in environment? | Browsers, OS, devices |
+| **O**perations | Can be used/managed? | Install, config, monitor |
+| **T**ime | Handles timing? | Concurrency, timeouts, scheduling |
+
+### FEW HICCUPPS Oracle (Recognize Problems)
+| Consistency With | Check |
+|-----------------|-------|
+| **F**amiliar problems | Does this look like a known bug pattern? |
+| **E**xplainable | Can behavior be explained rationally? |
+| **W**orld | Matches real-world expectations? |
+| **H**istory | Consistent with prior versions? |
+| **I**mage | Matches brand/product image? |
+| **C**omparable | Similar to competing products? |
+| **C**laims | Matches specs/docs/marketing? |
+| **U**sers | Meets user expectations? |
+| **P**urpose | Fulfills intended purpose? |
+| **S**tatements | Matches what devs said? |
+
+### Test Tours (12 Types)
+| Tour | Strategy |
+|------|----------|
+| Business District | Critical business flows |
+| Historical | Where bugs clustered before |
+| Bad Neighborhood | Known problem areas |
+| Money | Revenue-impacting features |
+| Landmark | Navigate by key features |
+| Intellectual | Complex, thinking-intensive features |
+| FedEx | Follow data through system |
+| Garbage Collector | Cleanup and edge cases |
+| Museum | Help docs and examples |
+| Rained-Out | What happens when things fail? |
+| Couch Potato | Minimal effort paths |
+| Obsessive-Compulsive | Repetitive actions |

+## Remember
+
+**Exploratory testing = simultaneous learning, test design, and test execution.**
+
+Not random clicking. Structured, skilled investigation guided by heuristics and oracles. Document discoveries in real-time. Pair testing amplifies findings.
+
+**With Agents:** Agents generate variations, recognize patterns, and maintain session notes while humans apply judgment and intuition. Combine agent thoroughness with human insight.
