SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Setting up a CI/CD pipeline for automated testing requires platform-specific YAML syntax, sharding strategies, flaky-test detection, and security hardening that teams often get wrong or skip entirely. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multi-Platform Pipeline Generation: Produces ready-to-adapt pipeline configs for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, Harness, Jenkins, and Circle CI with lint, test, burn-in, and report stages. - Stack-Aware Test Execution: Auto-detects frontend, backend, fullstack, or mobile stacks and configures the right test commands, browser installs, caching, and parallel sharding. - Quality Gates & Security: Adds burn-in loops for flaky test detection, pass-rate thresholds, optional Pact contract-testing stages, and enforces script-injection-safe patterns for reusable workflows. - Use Case: A team with a Playwright E2E suite asks to set up CI; the skill detects the stack, generates a GitHub Actions workflow with 4-way sharding and a weekly burn-in cron, scaffolds helper scripts, and writes docs/ci.md with a secrets checklist. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to set up a CI pipeline with quality gates for this repository and let it detect the platform and test framework automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions about bmad-testarch-ci

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a CI pipeline for Playwright tests?▼

Run this skill and it detects your Playwright config, then generates a platform-specific pipeline with lint, sharded test execution, browser caching, and a burn-in stage. It also scaffolds helper scripts like ci-local.sh and documentation for required secrets.

Which CI platforms does this pipeline generator support?▼

It supports GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, Harness, Jenkins, and Circle CI. Templates are included for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, and Harness; Jenkins and Circle CI configs are generated from first principles.

What is a burn-in loop in CI testing?▼

A burn-in loop runs the test suite repeatedly (typically 10 iterations) to detect flaky tests before they reach main. It runs on pull requests or a scheduled cron and fails the pipeline if any iteration fails, uploading artifacts for debugging.

Does the pipeline work for backend-only projects?▼

Yes. When the detected stack is backend-only, the pipeline skips Playwright browser installs and omits the burn-in stage by default, since burn-in targets UI flakiness. Backend frameworks like pytest, Jest, Vitest, Go, Maven, and .NET are supported.

How does the skill prevent script injection in GitHub Actions?▼

It never interpolates ${{ inputs.* }} or ${{ github.event.* }} directly in run blocks. Instead it passes them through env: intermediaries referenced as quoted variables, and the validation step scans generated YAML for unsafe patterns.

When should I not use this CI scaffolding workflow?▼

Do not run it before a test framework is configured and passing locally; the preflight step halts in that case and directs you to set up the framework first. It is also a one-time setup per repo, not a per-change tool.
