SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a disciplined, spec-driven workflow for E2E test authoring, front-loading expert planning before any test code is written.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured five-phase workflow (Discover, Specify, Plan, Implement, Verify) that guides test authors from strategy to execution.
  • Artifact-first approach: every phase prints or generates artifacts that clarify thinking and guide later steps.
  • Local, cloud-free execution: tests can be authored and run locally using headed mode with npx shiplight test --headed.

Quick Start

Run npx shiplight test --headed to create and run your local YAML tests.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan and scaffold E2E tests from a specification?▼

E2E test planning and scaffolding from a specification is automated through a structured five-phase workflow: Discover, Specify, Plan, Implement, and Verify. This approach front-loads expert test planning before any code is written, generating artifacts that clarify thinking at each phase.

How do I run YAML E2E tests locally in headed mode?▼

You can run YAML E2E tests locally in headed mode by executing the command `npx shiplight test --headed`. This local, cloud-free execution environment allows you to author and validate web application UI tests directly on your machine.

What is the best way to structure UI test automation for web applications?▼

The best way to structure UI test automation is using an artifact-first approach that guides test authors from strategy to execution. A disciplined, spec-driven workflow ensures every phase prints or generates artifacts that clarify thinking and guide later scaffolding steps.

Do I need a cloud environment to author and execute Playwright E2E tests?▼

You do not need a cloud environment to author and execute E2E tests. The workflow supports local, cloud-free execution, allowing you to author and run YAML tests locally using headed mode directly on your machine.

What artifacts are generated during spec-driven E2E test planning?▼

During spec-driven E2E test planning, artifacts are generated at every phase to clarify thinking and guide later steps. The structured workflow produces outputs spanning discovery, specification, planning, implementation, and verification to satisfy YAML test validation requirements.
