Red-phase ATDD scaffolding generates failing test structures for API, E2E, and component layers before implementation. It enforces test-first discipline by producing ATDD checklists and supporting data artifacts like factories and fixtures with standardized frontmatter.

You can generate ATDD test scaffolds by loading the TEA ATDD story context and activating the orchestration workflow. It automates red-phase scaffold generation, validates outputs against workflow plans, and aggregates results for developer handoff.

Yes, the ATDD workflow integrates with Playwright for E2E testing and Pact for contract testing. It applies red-phase discipline across frontend and backend architectures, producing deterministic scaffolds and data artifacts for these frameworks.

Yes, the workflow generates ATDD checklists alongside supporting data artifacts including factories and fixtures. It centralizes test-architecture planning and applies standardized frontmatter to ensure deterministic, knowledge-driven outputs for team handoff.

The best way to enforce red-phase discipline is through automated orchestration that validates scaffolds against knowledge fragments and workflow plans. This ensures consistent test-first outputs before passing aggregated results to the development team.

Standardized frontmatter guides activation and handoff within the TEA framework. It ensures generated API, E2E, and component scaffolds remain deterministic and knowledge-driven, enabling consistent validation against workflow plans across teams.
