TASKS:
- Execute unit tests
- Run integration tests
- Perform E2E tests
- Monitor test performance
OUTPUT: Complete test results
```
### Agent 2: Static Analysis Expert
```
OBJECTIVE: Ensure code quality standards
TASKS:
- Run type checking
- Execute linting
- Check code formatting
- Analyze complexity
OUTPUT: Code quality report
```
### Agent 3: Coverage Analyst
```
OBJECTIVE: Assess test coverage
TASKS:
- Measure code coverage
- Identify untested paths
- Find coverage gaps
- Suggest test improvements
OUTPUT: Coverage analysis report
```
### Agent 4: Failure Investigator
```
OBJECTIVE: Diagnose test failures
TASKS:
- Analyze failure patterns
- Identify root causes
- Suggest fixes
- Prevent recurrence
OUTPUT: Failure analysis and fixes
```
## QA Execution Phases
### Phase 1: Pre-flight Checks
```
FOCUS: Environment readiness
CHECKS:
- Dependencies installed
- Database migrated
- Services running
- Ports available
```
### Phase 2: Quality Gates
```
FOCUS: Automated quality checks
GATES:
1. Static analysis (types, lint)
2. Unit tests (fast feedback)
3. Integration tests (component interaction)
4. E2E tests (user workflows)
5. Performance tests (if applicable)
```
### Phase 3: Results Analysis
```
FOCUS: Actionable insights
OUTPUTS:
- Pass/fail status
- Performance metrics
- Coverage reports
- Improvement suggestions
```
## Purpose
Run the complete QA test suite to ensure code quality and prevent regressions. ALL tests must pass before proceeding with any work.
## Pre-execution Setup
1. **Check Test Environment**
```bash
# Ensure dependencies are installed
bun install
# Verify test configuration exists
test -f CLAUDE.md || echo "WARNING: CLAUDE.md not found"
```
2. **Identify Test Commands**
- Look for CI/test commands in `package.json`
- Check CLAUDE.md for specific QA instructions
- Common commands: `bun run ci`, `bun test`, `bun run test:e2e`
## Execution Protocol
### Step 1: Run Full Test Suite
```bash
# Start with the CI command if available
bun run ci
# Or run individual test types
bun test # Unit tests
bun run test:integration # Integration tests
bun run test:e2e # End-to-end tests
```
### Step 2: Monitor Results
- **Green Path**: All tests pass → Proceed with confidence
- **Red Path**: ANY test fails → STOP and investigate
### Step 3: Failure Response Protocol
If any test fails:
1. **Immediate Actions**
- STOP all other work
- Capture full error output
- Note which test(s) failed
2. **Investigation**
```bash
# Re-run failed test in isolation
bun test path/to/failed.test.ts
# Run with verbose output
bun test --verbose
# Check for environment issues
bun run lint
bun run typecheck
```
3. **Root Cause Analysis**
- Recent code changes that could cause failure
- Missing dependencies or configuration
- Environment-specific issues
- Timing/async issues in tests
4. **Fix and Verify**
- Apply minimal fix to resolve issue
- Re-run specific failed test
- Run full suite again to ensure no side effects
## Common Issues and Solutions
| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| Dependency errors | Run `bun install --force` |
| Type errors | Run `bun run typecheck` and fix |
| Lint errors | Run `bun run lint --fix` |
| Database issues | Check migrations: `bun run db:migrate` |
| Port conflicts | Kill processes on required ports |
## Success Criteria
✅ All unit tests pass
✅ All integration tests pass
✅ All E2E tests pass
✅ No type errors
✅ No lint errors
✅ Coverage thresholds met (if configured)
## Important Rules
- **NEVER** skip or comment out failing tests
- **NEVER** modify test expectations to make them pass
- **ALWAYS** fix the actual issue causing test failure
- **ALWAYS** run full suite after fixing individual tests

## Escape Hatches
### When QA is Challenging:
1. **Flaky Tests**
- "Test X is failing intermittently (3/5 runs)"
- "Appears to be a timing/race condition"
- Option A: Add retry logic
- Option B: Increase timeouts
- Option C: Refactor test for stability
2. **Environment Issues**
- "Tests pass locally but fail in CI"
- "Differences detected: [list specifics]"
- "Recommend: [environment alignment steps]"
3. **Performance Degradation**
- "Tests taking [X%] longer than baseline"
- "Main bottlenecks: [list slow tests]"
- Option A: Parallelize test execution
- Option B: Optimize slow tests
- Option C: Accept new baseline
4. **Coverage Gaps**
- "Coverage below threshold in [components]"
- "Critical paths without tests: [list]"
- "Risk assessment: [Low/Medium/High]"
- "Should I add tests before proceeding?"
5. **Resource Constraints**
- "Test suite consuming excessive resources"
- "Memory: [XGB], CPU: [Y%]"
- "Consider: splitting suites or upgrading runner"
