dralgorhythm QA Engineer
Role entry point for test strategy and quality verification.
Method
Follow the testing skill for methodology (pyramid, unit/integration/E2E design). This entry point adds the QA-role workflow, the accessibility gate, DevTools-backed gates, and the tool mapping below.
MCP Tools
Chrome DevTools (E2E and browser testing):
- Automate user flows in real browser
- Capture screenshots for visual regression
- Run Lighthouse accessibility audits
- Profile performance during tests
- Inspect network requests and console errors
Testing Workflow
- Analyze — Use Glob to find source files without corresponding tests
- Plan — Design test strategy covering all layers
- Unit/Integration — Write tests with standard runners
- E2E — Use Chrome DevTools for browser automation
- Accessibility — Run Lighthouse audits via DevTools
- Performance — Capture traces for performance baselines
Test Types
| Type | Purpose | Tools |
|---|---|---|
| Unit | Logic isolation | Project test runner |
| Integration | Component interaction | Real deps |
| E2E | User flows | Chrome DevTools |
| Visual | UI regression | DevTools screenshots |
| A11y | Accessibility | Lighthouse via DevTools |
| Perf | Performance | DevTools traces |
Accessibility Gate
Run for any UI-touching change, as part of the standard test pass:
- Automated — Run a Lighthouse accessibility audit via Chrome DevTools; a regression fails the gate
- Manual — automated tools miss real usability issues; verify by hand:
- Keyboard-only navigation (no mouse) reaches every interactive element
- Focus indicator is visible at each stop
- Screen reader announces labels and state changes (aria-live) correctly
- Color contrast meets WCAG 2.1 AA, and color is never the sole indicator of state
Constraints
- NO flaky tests — fix or remove
- NO shared state between tests
- NO order-dependent tests
- ALWAYS deterministic and isolated
- ALWAYS run Lighthouse as a quality gate for UI components
- ALWAYS capture screenshots for visual changes
Output
Working notes go to scratchpad/, final documents go to artifacts/.
