SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Expanding test automation coverage across an existing codebase is slow and inconsistent: teams must decide which features need tests, pick the right test level, avoid duplicate coverage, and keep tests deterministic. This Skill automates that analysis and generates a prioritized test suite with supporting fixtures, factories, and a coverage summary. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Coverage Analysis and Targeting: Scans the codebase or BMad artifacts (story, PRD, tech-spec) to identify untested features, then assigns P0-P3 priorities and selects E2E, API, component, or unit levels per target. - Multi-Stack Test Generation: Detects frontend, backend, fullstack, or mobile stacks and dispatches parallel subagents to generate Playwright, Maestro, or backend framework tests with Given-When-Then structure and data factories. - Contract Testing and Healing: Optionally generates Pact consumer-driven contract tests with provider source scrutiny, and can auto-heal failing tests (selector, timing, data fixes) with a healing report. - Use Case: After implementing a refund-processing feature, run the workflow to produce 39 prioritized tests across API, E2E, and contract levels, plus fixtures, factories, package.json scripts, and an automation summary. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to expand test coverage for a target feature or the whole codebase, for example by saying "let's expand test coverage for the refunds module".

Frequently Asked Questions about bmad-testarch-automate

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I expand test coverage for an existing codebase?▼

Run the automate workflow in standalone mode: it scans your source directory, identifies untested features, assigns P0-P3 priorities, and generates tests at the appropriate level (E2E, API, component, unit) with fixtures and factories.

What test frameworks does the automate workflow support?▼

It supports Playwright and Cypress for frontend, Maestro for mobile, and backend frameworks such as pytest, JUnit, Go test, xUnit, and RSpec. It auto-detects the stack from project manifests like package.json, pom.xml, or pubspec.yaml.

Does the workflow require BMad artifacts like stories or PRDs?▼

No, BMad artifacts are optional. Without them the workflow runs in standalone or auto-discover mode, analyzing source code directly. The only hard requirement is an existing test framework configuration such as playwright.config.ts.

Can it generate Pact contract tests for microservices?▼

Yes, when the pactjs-utils flag is enabled and a consumer-provider boundary exists, it generates consumer contract tests and provider verification using createProviderState and buildVerifierOptions, with mandatory provider source scrutiny before each interaction.

What happens when generated tests fail?▼

If auto-healing is enabled, the workflow identifies failure patterns (stale selectors, race conditions, hardcoded data) and applies fixes up to three iterations. Unfixable tests are marked with test.fixme() and a detailed comment explaining the failure.

When should I not use this test automation workflow?▼

Do not use it before scaffolding a test framework; it halts if no framework config exists and directs you to run the framework workflow first. It also does not replace ATDD or test review workflows, which run separately.
