Test an AQE Change

SkillMedia

Design, implement, and run durable tests for Agentic QE code changes. Use when adding tests, reproducing a defect, filling a coverage gap, selecting affected Vitest suites, checking CLI/MCP parity, or verifying a fix in this repository. Do not use for a read-only quality review with no requested edits.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by proffesor-for-testing/agentic-qe in .agents/skills/aqe-test-change/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

  1. Read AGENTS.md, the changed code, nearby tests, and relevant public interfaces.
  2. Reproduce a reported defect with the exact scenario before changing code.
  3. Identify the affected QE specialty from references/test-specialties.md.
  4. Add tests in this order:
    • durable boundary contracts, invariants, or properties;
    • integration behavior across affected components;
    • focused unit examples needed for the red-green loop.
  5. Keep tests deterministic. Do not hide failures with retries, skips, weakened assertions, fabricated fixtures, or mocks of the behavior under test.
  6. Run the narrowest matching Vitest target first. Expand to typecheck, build, agent/skill parity, MCP integration, or full CI checks in proportion to the changed surface.
  7. For capabilities exposed through both CLI and MCP, verify both paths.
  8. Report commands, pass/fail counts, limitations, and untested external dependencies.

Never modify or reset .agentic-qe/memory.db. Use a copy for any database test.
