You generate red-phase acceptance test scaffolds by orchestrating subagents and workflow steps that produce API and UI test.skip() scaffolds, fixtures, and data factories based on acceptance criteria. This establishes a consistent starting point for test-driven development.

ATDD red-phase scaffolding includes API and E2E test scaffolds, a mandatory ATDD checklist, data factories, fixtures, and a red-green-refactor roadmap. These artifacts are validated against the ATDD plan and packaged for immediate developer activation.

You automate test.skip() scaffold creation by running an orchestrated workflow that reads acceptance criteria and deterministically generates matching API and E2E test stubs. It also aggregates validation steps to ensure outputs align with the defined ATDD workflow.

Yes, the ATDD test architecture workflow supports both API and E2E test generation. It orchestrates multiple subagents to produce scaffolds for both layers, ensuring comprehensive coverage alongside mandatory checklists and data factories.

The best way to structure fixtures and data factories is through an orchestrated generation step that validates outputs against the ATDD plan. This produces packaged fixtures and data factories ready for immediate use in a strict red-green-refactor cycle.

ATDD workflows stall due to fragmentation and unclear handoffs. Centralizing the deterministic generation of red-phase test scaffolds, checklists, and data factories into a validated package eliminates ambiguity and provides a consistent starting point.
