generate-contract-tests

What problem does it solve?

It eliminates brittle, implementation-coupled test suites by generating tier-A contract tests that validate API wire contracts and outbound integration request/response shapes.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Portable contract coverage: Produces HTTP request/response assertions per exposed endpoint and per outbound integration boundary to survive backend stack changes.
• Deterministic, spec-driven generation: Uses behavior-spec inputs to derive method/path schemas, scenario expectations, edge-case triggers, and error envelope shapes.
• Harness-aligned output: Detects the target test framework from the test harness evidence and emits idiomatic tests for it, including harness discovery extensions when needed.
• Baseline-green gate: Ensures generated tests pass against the current codebase before capturing proposals to prevent incorrect extraction.
• Cited traceability: Writes a companion cited-specs YAML mapping generated tests back to scenario IDs for downstream aggregation.

Quick Start

Ask the test-engineer agent to run generate-contract-tests for a feature whose behavior-spec contains exposed inbound endpoints or outbound integration behaviors, using the provided test harness and evidence paths.
