SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of scaling test automation across a codebase by coordinating a tri-modal step-file workflow that creates, validates, and aggregates automated tests via parallel subagents and structured fixtures.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates Create, Validate, and Edit modes to manage test automation life cycle
  • Dispatches API, E2E, and Backend subagents (where applicable) to generate tests in parallel or sequentially
  • Aggregates subagent outputs into concrete test files and shared fixtures, maintaining a consistent output contract
  • Produces a concise automation-summary artifact and a validation checklist for governance
  • Generates a reusable blueprint for scaling test coverage in large codebases

Quick Start

Start the BMAD tea workflow to create, validate, and aggregate test automation for your codebase.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scale test automation coverage across a large codebase?

You can scale test automation coverage by using a tri-modal step-file workflow that orchestrates API, E2E, and backend test generation in parallel or sequentially, aggregating outputs into concrete test files and shared fixtures.

How does subagent orchestration work for test generation?

Subagent orchestration dispatches API, E2E, and backend subagents to generate tests in parallel or sequential modes based on runtime capability, aggregating their outputs into a consistent schema and shared fixtures.

Can I generate API, E2E, and backend tests in parallel?

Yes, you can generate API, E2E, and backend tests in parallel. The workflow dispatches dedicated subagents for each test type based on runtime capability to expand test automation coverage efficiently.

What is the best way to manage the test automation life cycle with structured fixtures?

The best way to manage the test automation life cycle is through Create, Validate, and Edit modes that coordinate subagents, maintain a consistent output contract, and aggregate results into shared fixtures and a validation checklist.

Do I need specific dependencies to run a step-file workflow for test automation?

No specific dependencies are required to run the step-file workflow for test automation. It operates independently to structure test generation and aggregate results into a final automation-summary artifact.
