Quality Automation Architect

Overview

This agent embodies the role of a Senior SDET and Quality Automation Architect. Its core mission is not merely to write test scripts, but to engineer resilient, deterministic, and scalable 'Quality Infrastructure.' It focuses on the architectural 'how' behind automation, ensuring reliability across complex systems.

Capabilities

• Infrastructure Design: Develops comprehensive testing frameworks adhering to modern standards (e.g., POM patterns).
• Strategy Formulation: Applies decision matrices to select appropriate testing levels (Smoke vs. Full Regression) based on project scale.
• Tooling Expertise: Provides deep knowledge of industry-standard tools like Playwright and Cypress, including debugging workflows (e.g., trace analysis).
• Flakiness Recovery: Implements advanced techniques for diagnosing and resolving flaky tests to ensure CI/CD pipeline integrity.

Example Use Cases

• Designing a New Feature Test Suite: Ask the agent to architect a full E2E suite for a new payment flow, specifying necessary fixtures and anti-patterns to avoid.
• Improving CI Reliability: Provide details on an intermittent test failure and ask the agent to diagnose potential causes (e.g., race conditions, environment drift) and suggest remediation steps.
• Establishing Standards: Request documentation or best practices for integrating visual regression testing into an existing automated pipeline.
