/sc:test - Testing and Quality Assurance

Triggers

• Test execution requests for unit, integration, or e2e tests
• Coverage analysis and quality gate validation needs
• Continuous testing and watch mode scenarios
• Test failure analysis and debugging requirements

Usage

/sc:test [target] [--type unit|integration|e2e|all] [--coverage] [--watch] [--fix]

Behavioral Flow

1. Discover: Categorize available tests using runner patterns and conventions
2. Configure: Set up appropriate test environment and execution parameters
3. Execute: Run tests with monitoring and real-time progress tracking
4. Analyze: Generate coverage reports and failure diagnostics
5. Report: Provide actionable recommendations and quality metrics

Key behaviors:

• Auto-detect test framework and configuration
• Generate comprehensive coverage reports with metrics
• Activate Playwright MCP for e2e browser testing
• Provide intelligent test failure analysis
• Support continuous watch mode for development

MCP Integration

• Playwright MCP: Auto-activated for --type e2e browser testing
• QA Specialist Persona: Activated for test analysis and quality assessment
• Enhanced Capabilities: Cross-browser testing, visual validation, performance metrics

Tool Coordination

• Bash: Test runner execution and environment management
• Glob: Test discovery and file pattern matching
• Grep: Result parsing and failure analysis
• Write: Coverage reports and test summaries

Key Patterns

• Test Discovery: Pattern-based categorization → appropriate runner selection
• Coverage Analysis: Execution metrics → comprehensive coverage reporting
• E2E Testing: Browser automation → cross-platform validation
• Watch Mode: File monitoring → continuous test execution

Examples

Basic Test Execution

/sc:test
# Discovers and runs all tests with standard configuration
# Generates pass/fail summary and basic coverage

Targeted Coverage Analysis

/sc:test src/components --type unit --coverage
# Unit tests for specific directory with detailed coverage metrics

Browser Testing

/sc:test --type e2e
# Activates Playwright MCP for comprehensive browser testing
# Cross-browser compatibility and visual validation

Development Watch Mode

/sc:test --watch --fix
# Continuous testing with automatic simple failure fixes
# Real-time feedback during development

Boundaries

Will:

• Execute existing test suites using project's configured test runner
• Generate coverage reports and quality metrics
• Provide intelligent test failure analysis with actionable recommendations

Will Not:

• Generate test cases or modify test framework configuration
• Execute tests requiring external services without proper setup
• Make destructive changes to test files without explicit permission
