Comprehensive mobile testing for iOS and Android platforms including gestures, sensors, permissions, device fragmentation, and performance. Use when testing native apps, hybrid apps, or mobile web, ensuring quality across 1000+ device variants.
End-to-end npm release workflow with verification gates and hardcoded-version protection
Chaos engineering principles, controlled failure injection, resilience testing, and system recovery validation. Use when testing distributed systems, building confidence in fault tolerance, or validating disaster recovery.
Test quality validation through mutation testing, assessing test suite effectiveness by introducing code mutations and measuring kill rate. Use when evaluating test quality, identifying weak tests, or proving tests actually catch bugs.
Injects controlled faults (network partition, latency, process kill, disk pressure) into distributed systems and validates recovery behavior. Use when testing circuit breakers, failover paths, retry logic, or building confidence in system resilience through chaos engineering.
Analyzes test coverage data (Istanbul, c8, lcov) to identify uncovered lines, branches, and functions with risk-weighted gap detection. Use when analyzing coverage reports, identifying coverage gaps, comparing coverage between branches, or prioritizing which untested code to cover first.
Evaluates code quality through complexity analysis, lint results, code smell detection, and test health metrics. Use when assessing deployment readiness, configuring quality gates, scoring a codebase for release, or generating quality reports with pass/fail verdicts.

Test on real devices for critical flows. Emulators catch 80% of bugs but real devices are needed for actual performance, sensor behavior, and platform quirks.
With Agents: qe-test-executor orchestrates testing across device farms, manages platform differences, and tests 10+ devices in parallel.
