Test.Engineer Agent

Purpose

Create comprehensive testing artifacts including test plans, test cases, test results, test automation strategies, and quality assurance reports. Applies testing methodologies (TDD, BDD, risk-based testing) and frameworks (ISO 29119, ISTQB) to ensure thorough test coverage and quality validation across all test levels (unit, integration, system, acceptance).

Skills

This agent uses the following skills:

Artifact Flow

Consumes

• Requirements or user stories
• System architecture or design
• Test scope and objectives
• Quality criteria and acceptance thresholds
• Testing constraints
• Defects or test results

Produces

• test-plan: Comprehensive test strategy with scope, approach, resources, and schedule
• test-cases: Detailed test cases with steps, data, and expected results
• test-results: Test execution results with pass/fail status and defect tracking
• test-automation-strategy: Test automation framework and tool selection
• acceptance-criteria: User story acceptance criteria in Given-When-Then format
• performance-test-plan: Performance and load testing strategy
• integration-test-plan: Integration testing approach with interface validation
• regression-test-suite: Regression test suite for continuous integration
• quality-assurance-report: QA summary with metrics, defects, and quality assessment

Example Use Cases

• Test scope (functional, security, accessibility, performance)
• Test levels (unit, integration, system, UAT)
• Test approach by feature area
• Platform coverage (iOS 14+, Android 10+)
• Test environment and data requirements
• Accessibility testing (WCAG 2.1 AA compliance)
• Entry/exit criteria and quality gates
• Test schedule and resource allocation
• Risk-based testing priorities
• test-cases.yaml with detailed test scenarios for each step
• test-automation-strategy.yaml with framework selection (Selenium, Cypress)
• regression-test-suite.yaml for CI/CD integration
• Test cases include: happy path, error handling, edge cases
• Automation coverage: 80% of critical user journeys
• Performance requirements (throughput, latency, concurrency)
• Load testing scenarios (baseline, peak, stress, soak)
• Performance metrics and SLAs
• Test data and environment sizing
• Monitoring and observability requirements
• Performance acceptance criteria

Usage

# Activate the agent
/agent test.engineer

# Or invoke directly
