What problem does it solve?

NOVAE ensures that every code change is validated end-to-end through the lens of real user journeys, not just isolated fixes. It eliminates the risk of introducing regressions or breaking user flows, guaranteeing that features and bug fixes work flawlessly from the user's perspective.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • 8-Step NOVAE Loop: A structured workflow from initial analysis to final verification, integrating quality assurance and parallel execution.
  • Playwright MCP Integration: Directly interact with the browser for real-time, end-to-end user flow testing without writing separate test scripts.
  • Automated Safety & Quality Hooks: Blocks dangerous commands and automatically runs linting, type checking, and tests after every code edit.
  • Use Case: When implementing a new feature like a "System Health" indicator, NOVAE guides you through parallel development of frontend, backend, and tests, then uses Playwright MCP to verify the indicator functions correctly in the browser.

Quick Start

To add a health check indicator to the dashboard, ask: Using NOVAE, add a simple health check indicator to the dashboard. Use parallel tasks for frontend and backend. Verify with Playwright MCP.
