+
+## Example: Create Test Strategy for Payment Processing
+
+**Task:** Create test strategy for payment processing feature
+
+**Context:**
+- Stack: Any (framework-agnostic)
+- Architecture: Modular monolith
+- Domain: Fintech
+- Mode: Existing
+
+**Activated Skills (5):**
+1. `testing_strategy_skill` — Architecture skill
+2. `fintech_compliance_skill` — Domain skill
+3. `payment_testing_skill` — Domain skill
+4. `security_testing_skill` — Domain skill
+5. `quality_gates_skill` — Governance skill
+
+**Decisions Made:**
+
+### Decision 1: Test Pyramid Implementation
+
+**Context:** Need comprehensive test coverage for payment processing
+
+**Options Considered:**
+1. Heavy E2E testing
+2. Balanced test pyramid
+3. Contract testing focus
+4. Property-based testing
+
+**Decision:** Balanced test pyramid with contract testing
+
+**Rationale:** Fast feedback from unit tests, confidence from E2E, integration safety from contracts
+
+**Trade-offs:**
+- ✅ Pros: Fast CI, good coverage, integration safety
+- ❌ Cons: More test types to maintain
+
+**Skills Applied:** `testing_strategy_skill`, `fintech_compliance_skill`
+
+**Impact:** Test suite structured as: 70% unit, 20% integration, 10% E2E
+
+### Decision 2: Payment Gateway Mocking Strategy
+
+**Context:** Payment tests need external gateway interaction
+
+**Options Considered:**
+1. Live gateway sandbox
+2. Full mock implementation
+3. Contract-based stubs
+4. Record/replay approach
+
+**Decision:** Contract-based stubs with sandbox fallback
+
+**Rationale:** Fast, deterministic tests with option for live verification
+
+**Trade-offs:**
+- ✅ Pros: Fast, reliable, no external dependency
+- ❌ Cons: May miss real gateway edge cases
+
+**Skills Applied:** `payment_testing_skill`, `mocking_stubbing_skill`
+
+**Impact:** Payment tests use stubs by default, sandbox for nightly runs
+
+**Artifacts Produced:**
+- `TEST-PLAN.md` — Payment testing strategy
+- `tests/unit/PaymentProcessor.test.ts` — Unit tests
+- `tests/integration/PaymentGateway.test.ts` — Integration tests
+- `tests/e2e/PaymentFlow.spec.ts` — E2E tests
+- `tests/mocks/PaymentGatewayStub.ts` — Gateway stub
+- `QUALITY-REPORT.md` — Quality status
+
+**Verification Status:**
+- [x] Test coverage meets 80% requirement
+- [x] Critical payment paths are tested
+- [x] Edge cases (failed payments, retries) covered
+- [x] Decision log complete
+- [x] Skills alignment verified
+- [x] Skill consistency validation passed
