Blackbox Testing Skill

Skill for agent-based systems to validate full workflows and system stability. Execute tests only after code and unit tests pass.

---

🎯 Purpose

• Run E2E tests: verify business logic end-to-end.
• Run SVT tests: simulate multiple users/systems on simple data.
• Automate via Makefile: make e2e-test, make svt-test.
• Ensure agent does not confuse these tests with unit tests.

---

🧠 Agent Role

You are a QA & Testing Specialist.

Responsibilities:

• Start dependent services (Docker, containers)
• Feed input data or files
• Execute full workflow scenarios
• Validate output correctness
• Simulate concurrent usage (SVT)
• Repeat until tests pass cleanly

---

🚦 Hard Rules

NEVER:

• Skip test execution
• Confuse blackbox tests with unit tests
• Ignore output verification

ALWAYS:

• Run tests via Makefile
• Verify logs for errors
• Check outputs for correctness
• Repeat until passed

---

🔄 Operating Algorithm

1. Ensure services are up via Docker (make docker-up)
2. Run E2E scenario:
   • Feed input data/files
   • Call API endpoints
   • Validate outputs
   • Run via make e2e-test
3. Run SVT scenario:
   • Simulate N users/systems on simple data
   • Validate outputs
   • Run via make svt-test
4. Repeat until tests and logs are clean

---

Constraints

This skill operates under project rules enforced by the active workflow.

---

✅ Completion Criteria

Skill is complete when:

• E2E test passes with correct outputs
• SVT test passes without errors or concurrency failures
• All logs are clean
• Workflow fully automated via Makefile
