Bulk-regenerate broken test selectors after a UI refactor or redesign. Detects drift between old and new DOM with an aria-snapshot diff, maps old locators to new equivalents using role-first + region scoping, validates against the new build, and produces a single PR with grouped per-file selector updates and per-change evidence. Assumes Playwright >= 1.50 (trace viewer DOM-snapshot panel, getByRole filtering, ariaSnapshot). Use when: "UI refactor broke tests," "redesign broke tests," "bulk update selectors," "regenerate selectors after refactor," "selector drift," "fix N broken tests after redesign." Not for: healing one flaky test at runtime — use test-reliability. Not for: writing a new test suite from scratch — use playwright-automation. Not for: re-recording tests after a framework switch (Selenium to Playwright) — use test-migration. Related: test-reliability, playwright-automation, test-migration, ci-cd-integration, visual-testing.
End-to-end testing of email-dependent flows — signup confirmation, password reset, magic-link login, OTP/MFA codes, and notification emails. Covers the capture-inbox decision tree (Mailpit, Mailosaur, MailSlurp, Ethereal), Playwright polling without fixed sleeps, regex extraction of links/OTPs from the email body, deterministic per-test addresses (plus-addressing, per-inbox), subject/from/header/link assertions, and SPF/DKIM/DMARC deliverability checks as a separate suite. Use when: "test the signup confirmation email," "password reset email test," "magic-link login test," "capture OTP from email," "Mailpit," "Mailosaur," "MailSlurp," "email arrives flaky in CI," "assert email subject/from/links." Not for: Sending transactional email from your app code, or API-only contract tests of an email provider — those are api-testing / app concerns. Email HTML rendering across clients (Outlook/Gmail dark mode) is out of scope (note it as a gap; use visual-testing or Litmus). Related: playwright-automation, api-testing, test-data-management, qa-project-context.
Implement visual regression testing with Playwright screenshots, Chromatic, Percy, and Argos CI. Covers baseline management, diff threshold tuning, dynamic content masking, responsive viewport testing, and review/approval workflows. Use when: "visual test," "screenshot," "visual regression," "pixel diff," "snapshot diff," "update baselines," "Chromatic," "percy snapshot," "argos screenshot." Not for: bulk baseline regeneration after a redesign broke many tests — use selector-drift-recovery; cross-browser rendering matrices — use cross-browser-testing; general Playwright test structure — use playwright-automation. Related: playwright-automation, ci-cd-integration, cross-browser-testing.
Measure and improve test coverage meaningfully. Covers Istanbul/V8/coverage.py configuration, coverage gap analysis by risk, coverage-as-ratchet in CI (never let it decrease), PR coverage diff checks, mutation testing for assertion quality, and distinguishing meaningful from vanity coverage. Use when: "code coverage," "coverage gap," "Istanbul," "coverage threshold," "coverage report," "branch coverage." Not for: writing the tests that raise coverage — use unit-testing; coverage as a tracked KPI trend over time — use qa-metrics. Related: unit-testing, ci-cd-integration, qa-metrics, ai-qa-review.
Runtime per-test healing with evidence: multi-attribute selector healing, environment-aware diagnosis, flake classification, quarantine management, and confidence-scored auto-repair. Goes beyond simple locator fallbacks to cover action-level healing, data healing, and observable repair workflows. Use when: "flaky test," "test stability," "self-healing locator," "broken locator recovery," "unreliable test," "quarantine flaky test." Not for: bulk regenerating selectors after a planned UI refactor — use selector-drift-recovery (this skill heals ONE test at runtime; that one rewrites many tests offline). Not for: classifying/clustering CI failures into bug reports — use ai-bug-triage. Related: playwright-automation, selector-drift-recovery, ci-cd-integration, qa-metrics, ai-bug-triage.
Test REST and GraphQL APIs with Playwright APIRequestContext, Supertest, or standalone HTTP clients. Covers schema validation with Zod 4/AJV, auth flow testing, CRUD lifecycle tests, error and header validation, pagination, and performance assertions. Use when: "API test," "endpoint test," "REST test," "GraphQL test," "schema validation," "Postman replacement." Not for: consumer-driven contract verification (Pact, broker) — use contract-testing; browser UI flows — use playwright-automation. Related: contract-testing, test-data-management, ci-cd-integration, playwright-automation.
Author and maintain MANUAL and hybrid test cases and suites in TestRail, Xray (Jira), Zephyr Scale, and Qase. Covers test-case anatomy (title, preconditions, steps, expected results, test data), suite/section organization, bulk authoring from user stories and acceptance criteria, ambiguous-step linting, CSV/API import-export payloads per tool, requirement traceability and coverage gaps, review hygiene, and when a manual case should graduate to automation. Use when: "write a test case," "manual test case," "TestRail case," "Xray test," "Zephyr Scale case," "Qase case," "import CSV into TestRail," "lint these steps," "traceability report," "should this be automated." Not for: Generating automated TEST CODE — that is ai-test-generation. Sprint-level WHAT-to-test selection — that is test-planning. Related: ai-test-generation, test-planning, exploratory-testing, qa-project-context.
Validate release readiness with evidence-based go/no-go decisions. Covers go/no-go checklists, smoke test suite design, staged rollout validation, rollback criteria and procedures, and post-deployment verification. Ensures release confidence comes from data, not feelings. Use when: "release ready," "go/no-go," "smoke test," "release checklist," "rollback plan," "staged rollout," "canary deploy." Not for: safe-release techniques (flags, canary, dark launch) applied during the rollout itself — use testing-in-production; scheduled probes that run continuously after release — use synthetic-monitoring; designing new tests from prod telemetry — use observability-driven-testing. Related: testing-in-production, qa-metrics, ci-cd-integration, ai-system-testing.
Build and visualize QA dashboards and reports with Allure Report, Grafana, and ReportPortal. Covers test execution visualization, stakeholder-facing quality reports, trend/flakiness panels, release-readiness gates, alerting, and CI integration for automated report generation. Use when: "test dashboard," "Allure," "test report," "quality dashboard," "Grafana," "ReportPortal," "test results visualization." Not for: defining which KPIs to measure or how to interpret them — use qa-metrics (this skill builds the panels; qa-metrics decides what they should show). Related: qa-metrics, ci-cd-integration, ai-bug-triage.
Sequenced launcher that bootstraps QA on a project with no QA in place. Chains qa-project-context → test-strategy → test-planning in one guided run, then points you at automation. Use when: "set up QA on a new project," "QA from scratch," "no QA exists yet," "/qa-start." Not for: onboarding a QA engineer to an existing team with existing tests — use qa-project-bootstrap. Not for: "which skill do I use" with no clear match — use qa-do. Related: qa-project-context, test-strategy, test-planning, qa-project-bootstrap, qa-do.
Design analytics-driven browser test matrices and execute cross-browser tests. Covers BrowserStack/Sauce Labs configuration, Playwright browser channels, common cross-browser CSS/JS divergences, a known-issues documentation log, and progressive enhancement validation. Use when: "cross-browser," "browser matrix," "BrowserStack," "Safari issues," "browser compatibility," "Edge," "works in Chrome but not Safari." Not for: pixel-level baseline strategy and threshold tuning — use visual-testing; device-farm testing of native/hybrid apps — use mobile-testing. Related: visual-testing, playwright-automation, ci-cd-integration, mobile-testing.
Write effective unit tests with Jest, Vitest, or pytest. Covers the test-doubles taxonomy (stub/spy/mock/fake), Arrange-Act-Assert, coverage threshold configuration and CI gating, snapshot testing, fake timers, and mutation testing with Stryker/mutmut. Use when: "unit test," "Jest," "Vitest," "pytest," "mock," "coverage threshold," "test doubles," "mutation testing," "fake timers," "snapshot test." Not for: interpreting coverage reports or finding coverage gaps — use coverage-analysis; AI generating the test code for you — use ai-test-generation; auditing existing tests for smells — use ai-qa-review; browser/component rendering assertions — use cypress-automation or visual-testing. Related: coverage-analysis, ci-cd-integration, ai-test-generation, shift-left-testing.
