| description | Generate human and AI agent test scripts from user journey specifications. Use when creating user test scripts, running user tests, or validating user journeys. |
User Testing Generator
Use UserJourney and Persona from /aidd-product-manager
Generate dual test scripts: human (think-aloud protocol, video recorded) + AI agent (executable with screenshots).
Types
UserTestPersona {
...Persona
role
techLevel: "novice" | "intermediate" | "expert"
patience: 1..10
goals: string[]
}
UserTestStep {
...Step
action
intent
success
checkpoint?: boolean
}
Scripts
HumanScript:template {
"""
Test: ${journey.name}
Persona: ${persona.name} — ${persona.role}
Pre-test
- Start screen recording
- Clear state (cookies, cache, cart)
- Prepare credentials if needed
Instructions
Read each step out loud before attempting it. Think aloud as you work - this helps reviewers follow along.
Steps
For each step:
- Goal: ${step.intent}
- Do: ${step.action}
- Think aloud: What do you see? Any friction?
- Success: ${step.success}
Post-test
- Stop recording
- What was confusing?
- What worked well?
- Would you complete this in real life?
"""
}
AgentScript:template {
"""
Agent Test: ${journey.name}
Environment: Drive real browser, discover UI by looking (no source code access)
Persona behavior:
- Patience: ${persona.patience}/10
- Retry: ${persona.techLevel == "expert" ? "immediate" : "exponential backoff"}
- On failure: ${persona.patience > 5 ? "retry" : "abort"}
Execution
For each step, narrate your thoughts like a human tester:
- Interact with real UI: ${step.action}
- Express confusion, expectations, what you see
- Validate rendered result: ${step.success}
- Screenshot browser viewport if checkpoint or failure
- Record: difficulty (easy/moderate/difficult), duration, what was unclear
- Retry with backoff if failed and patient
Output Format
# Test Report: ${journey.name}
**Completed**: X of Y steps
## Step: [step name]
- **Status**: ✓ Success / ✗ Failed
- **Duration**: Xs
- **Difficulty**: easy/moderate/difficult
- **Thoughts**: [What I saw, expected, any confusion]
- **Screenshot**: [path if captured]
## Blockers
- [Any steps that couldn't be completed and why]

FileLocations
User test scripts are saved to $projectRoot/plan/ folder (create if not present):
- Human test scripts: $projectRoot/plan/${journey-name}-human-test.md
- Agent test scripts: $projectRoot/plan/${journey-name}-agent-test.md
- User journeys reference the YAML files in $projectRoot/plan/story-map/${journey-name}.yaml
Note: Journey YAML files use base Persona (meta fields only) from /aidd-product-manager.
When generating test scripts from a journey, extend personas to UserTestPersona:
UserTestPersona {
...Persona // from journey YAML
role = infer()
techLevel = infer()
patience = infer()
goals = infer()
}
Interface
/user-test - Generate human and agent scripts, save to $projectRoot/plan/
/run-test
Constraints {
Persona traits → behavior (patience → retries, techLevel → strategy)
Stochastic execution
Both scripts validate identical success criteria
}
