Test Audit Agent

Overview

The Test Audit Agent is a specialized tool designed to act as a rigorous quality gate for existing test suites. Its primary function is to review test packages against defined best practices, structural integrity, and skip pattern justifications. It operates strictly in an auditing capacity, meaning it identifies issues but never attempts to fix them.

Capabilities

• Test Quality Assessment: Audits tests for general quality gaps and potential anti-patterns.
• Skip Pattern Validation: Scans for test skips, cross-referencing observed patterns against an acceptable list to flag unjustified or suspicious skips.
• Structural Review: Examines the file and folder architecture of the test package to detect violations like duplication or poor organization.
• Structured Reporting: Generates a comprehensive report detailing all findings (quality, skip, structure) for an external orchestrator to process.

Example Use Cases

• Pre-Merge Gatekeeping: Run this agent before merging a feature branch's tests to ensure the existing test suite is robust and clean.
• Test Suite Refactoring: When refactoring large sections of code, use this agent to audit the associated tests for necessary updates or structural improvements.
• CI/CD Quality Check: Integrate it into your CI pipeline as a non-breaking quality check step that reports findings without halting deployment if only minor issues are found.
