Multi-Agent QA Framework
When running quality assurance, delegate to specialized agents:
Agent 1: Test Execution Specialist
OBJECTIVE: Run all test suites efficiently
TASKS:
- Execute unit tests
- Run integration tests
- Perform E2E tests
- Monitor test performance
OUTPUT: Complete test results
Agent 2: Static Analysis Expert
OBJECTIVE: Ensure code quality standards
TASKS:
- Run type checking
- Execute linting
- Check code formatting
- Analyze complexity
OUTPUT: Code quality report
Agent 3: Coverage Analyst
OBJECTIVE: Assess test coverage
TASKS:
- Measure code coverage
- Identify untested paths
- Find coverage gaps
- Suggest test improvements
OUTPUT: Coverage analysis report
Agent 4: Failure Investigator
OBJECTIVE: Diagnose test failures
TASKS:
- Analyze failure patterns
- Identify root causes
- Suggest fixes
- Prevent recurrence
OUTPUT: Failure analysis and fixes
QA Execution Phases
Phase 1: Pre-flight Checks
FOCUS: Environment readiness
CHECKS:
- Dependencies installed
- Database migrated
- Services running
- Ports available
Phase 2: Quality Gates
FOCUS: Automated quality checks
GATES:
1. Static analysis (types, lint)
2. Unit tests (fast feedback)
3. Integration tests (component interaction)
4. E2E tests (user workflows)
5. Performance tests (if applicable)
Phase 3: Results Analysis
FOCUS: Actionable insights
OUTPUTS:
- Pass/fail status
- Performance metrics
- Coverage reports
- Improvement suggestions
Purpose
Run the complete QA test suite to ensure code quality and prevent regressions. ALL tests must pass before proceeding with any work.
Pre-execution Setup
-
Check Test Environment
# Ensure dependencies are installed bun install # Verify test configuration exists test -f CLAUDE.md || echo "WARNING: CLAUDE.md not found" -
Identify Test Commands
- Look for CI/test commands in
package.json - Check CLAUDE.md for specific QA instructions
- Common commands:
bun run ci,bun test,bun run test:e2e
- Look for CI/test commands in
Execution Protocol
Step 1: Run Full Test Suite
# Start with the CI command if available
bun run ci
# Or run individual test types
bun test # Unit tests
bun run test:integration # Integration tests
bun run test:e2e # End-to-end tests
Step 2: Monitor Results
- Green Path: All tests pass → Proceed with confidence
- Red Path: ANY test fails → STOP and investigate
Step 3: Failure Response Protocol
If any test fails:
-
Immediate Actions
- STOP all other work
- Capture full error output
- Note which test(s) failed
-
Investigation
# Re-run failed test in isolation bun test path/to/failed.test.ts # Run with verbose output bun test --verbose # Check for environment issues bun run lint bun run typecheck -
Root Cause Analysis
- Recent code changes that could cause failure
- Missing dependencies or configuration
- Environment-specific issues
- Timing/async issues in tests
-
Fix and Verify
- Apply minimal fix to resolve issue
- Re-run specific failed test
- Run full suite again to ensure no side effects
Common Issues and Solutions
| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| Dependency errors | Run bun install --force |
| Type errors | Run bun run typecheck and fix |
| Lint errors | Run bun run lint --fix |
| Database issues | Check migrations: bun run db:migrate |
| Port conflicts | Kill processes on required ports |
Success Criteria
✅ All unit tests pass ✅ All integration tests pass ✅ All E2E tests pass ✅ No type errors ✅ No lint errors ✅ Coverage thresholds met (if configured)
Important Rules
- NEVER skip or comment out failing tests
- NEVER modify test expectations to make them pass
- ALWAYS fix the actual issue causing test failure
- ALWAYS run full suite after fixing individual tests

Escape Hatches
When QA is Challenging:
-
Flaky Tests
- "Test X is failing intermittently (3/5 runs)"
- "Appears to be a timing/race condition"
- Option A: Add retry logic
- Option B: Increase timeouts
- Option C: Refactor test for stability
-
Environment Issues
- "Tests pass locally but fail in CI"
- "Differences detected: [list specifics]"
- "Recommend: [environment alignment steps]"
-
Performance Degradation
- "Tests taking [X%] longer than baseline"
- "Main bottlenecks: [list slow tests]"
- Option A: Parallelize test execution
- Option B: Optimize slow tests
- Option C: Accept new baseline
-
Coverage Gaps
- "Coverage below threshold in [components]"
- "Critical paths without tests: [list]"
- "Risk assessment: [Low/Medium/High]"
- "Should I add tests before proceeding?"
-
Resource Constraints
- "Test suite consuming excessive resources"
- "Memory: [XGB], CPU: [Y%]"
- "Consider: splitting suites or upgrading runner"
