QA Automation Engineer

Description

This skill enables the agent to assist with software testing and automation tasks.

The agent can:

• Generate manual test cases from requirements
• Generate test automation scripts from test cases or UI flows
• Generate API tests from Swagger/OpenAPI specifications
• Explore applications and discover test scenarios
• Generate automation frameworks
• Generate test data
• Analyze flaky tests
• Generate stable locators
• Generate requirements from website analysis

This skill is designed for modern QA workflows and automation development.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks about:

• Test automation
• Manual testing
• Automation frameworks
• API testing
• UI testing
• Test data generation
• Flaky test debugging
• Locator generation
• Requirements analysis from website
• Jira integration (fetch requirements, push test results)
• Xray test management

• Generate test cases from requirement
• Generate Selenium automation from test case
• Generate automation from UI steps
• Generate API tests from Swagger
• Generate regression suite → (redirect sang generate_application_test_plan hoặc generate_manual_testcases_rbt)
• Generate test data
• Analyze flaky test
• Generate locator for element
• Generate requirements from website

Workflow Routing

When the user request matches a specific task, select the appropriate workflow file from .agent/workflows/.

Generate test cases from requirements

Delegate: Tác vụ này thuộc skill rbt_manual_testing — không phải qa_automation_engineer.

Use workflow: generate_testcases_from_requirements (QUICK mode) hoặc generate_manual_testcases_rbt (FULL RBT mode).

Triggers when user asks:

• generate test cases → delegate to rbt_manual_testing (QUICK mode)
• write manual test cases → delegate to rbt_manual_testing (QUICK mode)
• test scenarios from requirement → delegate to rbt_manual_testing (QUICK mode)
• sinh test cases đầy đủ / quy trình 6 bước → delegate to rbt_manual_testing (FULL RBT mode)

---

Generate automation from manual test case

Use workflow: generate_automation_from_testcases

Triggers when user asks:

• convert test case to automation
• generate Selenium automation
• generate Playwright automation from test case

---

Generate automation from UI steps

Use workflow: generate_automation_from_ui_flow

Triggers when user asks:

• automate this UI flow
• generate automation from steps
• run UI steps and generate Selenium script

---

Generate API tests

Use workflow: generate_api_tests_from_swagger

Triggers when user provides:

• Swagger URL
• OpenAPI specification

---

Generate test data

Use workflow: generate_test_data

Triggers when user asks:

• generate test data
• generate boundary test data

---

Analyze cross-module feature & generate combinatorial matrix

Use workflow: generate_cross_module_test_plan

Workflow dành cho tính năng phức tạp đi qua nhiều modules nối tiếp. Sinh Data Flow Map + Ma trận kết hợp đa chiều (Pairwise / Business-critical / Full Cartesian).

Triggers when user asks:

• phân tích tính năng cross-module
• test nhiều module liên kết
• sinh ma trận kết hợp / combinatorial matrix
• test tính năng có nhiều điều kiện kết hợp
• analyze multi-module feature
• pairwise testing
• decision table đa chiều / nhiều chiều

---

Generate combinatorial test data (multi-module pipeline)

Use workflow: generate_combinatorial_test_data

Sinh test data cho ma trận kết hợp. Hỗ trợ 2 modes: GENERATE (sinh offline) và PIPELINE (chạy thật trên browser qua N modules).

Triggers when user asks:

• sinh data cho ma trận kết hợp
• tạo test data cho combinatorial matrix
• chạy pipeline tạo data qua nhiều module
• generate combinatorial test data
• setup data cho cross-module test

---

Generate regression suite

Không có workflow riêng. Dùng generate_application_test_plan (Mode PLAN) hoặc generate_manual_testcases_rbt (FULL RBT) tùy theo input.

Triggers when user asks:

• create regression test suite
• generate regression scenarios

---

Generate automation framework

Delegate: Tác vụ này sử dụng skill framework_architect để thiết kế framework.

Use workflow: generate_automation_framework

Triggers when user asks:

• create automation framework
• design Selenium framework
• design Playwright framework
• design Appium framework
• scaffold automation project
• thiết kế framework mới

---

Explore application and generate test plan

Use workflow: generate_application_test_plan

Workflow này có 2 modes: PLAN (mặc định — chỉ test plan) và FULL (test plan + automation skeleton). Khi user yêu cầu "full automation suite" hoặc "bootstrap automation" → tự động chọn Mode FULL.

Triggers when user asks:

• explore application
• discover test scenarios
• generate test plan
• generate full automation suite
• bootstrap automation for project

---

Analyze flaky tests

Use workflow: analyze_flaky_tests

Triggers when user asks:

• why is this test flaky
• analyze unstable automation

---

Generate stable locators

Use workflow: generate_locator

Triggers when user asks:

• generate locator for this element
• find stable selector
• create automation locator

---

Generate requirements from website

Use workflow: generate_requirements_from_website

Triggers when user asks:

• generate requirements from website
• analyze website module and create requirements
• extract user stories from web page

---

Analyze requirement document

Delegate: Tác vụ này sử dụng skill requirements_analyzer để phân tích requirement documents.

Use workflow: analyze_requirement_document

Workflow chỉ phân tích requirement — KHÔNG sinh test cases. Output là tài liệu phân tích chi tiết gồm: AC breakdown, dependencies, ambiguities, risks.

Triggers when user asks:

• phân tích requirement document
• review yêu cầu / analyze this ticket
• phân tích Jira ticket / requirement
• tìm điểm mơ hồ trong requirement
• analyze requirement / review requirement document

---

Fetch requirements from Jira

Use workflow: fetch_jira_requirements

Triggers when user asks:

• fetch jira requirements
• lấy requirement từ jira
• get jira ticket
• import user stories from jira

---

Import test results to Xray

Use workflow: import_test_results_xray

Triggers when user asks:

• push test results to xray
• đẩy kết quả test lên xray
• import test execution to jira
• upload playwright results to xray

---

Automation Framework

Default automation stack:

• Language: Java
• UI automation: Selenium WebDriver or Playwright
• Test framework: TestNG
• API automation: REST Assured
• Mobile automation: Appium
• Design pattern: Page Object Model (POM)

---

Locator Strategy

Selenium Locator Priority

1. id
2. data-testid
3. name
4. css selector
5. xpath (last resort)

Avoid fragile locators such as auto-generated class names or positional xpaths.

Playwright Locator Priority

1. getByRole()
2. getByLabel()
3. getByPlaceholder()
4. getByText()
5. getByTestId()
6. css selector
7. xpath (last resort)

Avoid fragile selectors such as dynamic class names.

Note: For detailed locator rules, refer to .agent/rules/locator_strategy.md.

---

Rules References

The agent MUST also follow the detailed rules defined in .agent/rules/:

• automation_rules.md — General automation best practices
• locator_strategy.md — Detailed locator selection rules
• playwright_rules.md — Playwright-specific rules
• selenium_rules.md — Selenium-specific rules
• appium_rules.md — Appium mobile automation rules

---

References

The agent may consult additional documentation in the references/ folder:

• PROJECT_CONTEXT.md — Project domain, tech stack, key modules
• TEST_STRATEGY.md — Testing objectives, scope, execution plan
• PROMPT_TEMPLATES.md — Reusable prompt templates for common QA tasks

External references (thay thế cho các file đã gộp):

• plans/automation/project_architecture/README.md — Repository structure & project architecture (thay thế REPOSITORY_MAP.md)
• GEMINI.md > "Cleanup & Delivery" — Quality checklist / Definition of Done (thay thế SELF_CHECK.md)

---

Output

Depending on the request, the agent may return:

• Manual test cases (structured format)
• Automation scripts (Java/TypeScript)
• API tests (REST Assured)
• Locator recommendations
• Test data (structured, randomized, traceable)
• Automation framework design
• Requirements documents

Automation outputs should include:

• Page Object classes
• Test classes
• Assertions validating expected behavior
• Clean, readable, maintainable code (no debug logs, no commented code)
