# T-158: Testing strategy for Agentic Engineering Framework

**Type:** Inception (completed)
**Note:** Research artifact created retroactively. This task predates the C-001 research persistence rule.

## Outcome

- **Chose:** GO — implement structured testing across the framework
- **Why:** 8/10 historical bugs preventable, 0% critical path coverage, directives D1+D2 demand it
- **Rejected:** Status quo (usage-based validation only) — survivorship bias, no regression prevention

## Research

Research conducted during live session. Findings captured in task acceptance criteria and episodic memory (.context/episodic/T-158.yaml).
