# AITBC CLI Group-Based Testing Strategy Summary

## 🎯 **GROUP-BASED TESTING IMPLEMENTATION**

We have created a **group-based testing strategy** that organizes CLI tests by **usage frequency** and **command groups**, providing **targeted testing** for different user needs.

---

## 📊 **Usage Frequency Classification**

| Frequency | Groups | Purpose | Test Priority |
|-----------|--------|---------|--------------|
| **DAILY** | wallet, client, blockchain, miner, config | Core operations | **CRITICAL** |
| **WEEKLY** | marketplace, agent, auth, test | Regular features | **HIGH** |
| **MONTHLY** | deploy, governance, analytics, monitor | Advanced features | **MEDIUM** |
| **OCCASIONAL** | chain, node, simulate, genesis | Specialized operations | **LOW** |
| **RARELY** | openclaw, advanced, plugin, version | Edge cases | **OPTIONAL** |
