QA Safe Healing
Use this skill for a failed Playwright test, a request to heal a test, or a diagnosis-only QA report. It complements full-stack-incident-analyst; use that skill when source-to-runtime tracing needs a full cross-layer RCA.
- Read
qa/failure-taxonomy.json and qa/evidence-schema.json.
- Preserve test output, trace/screenshot when available, API/network evidence, source, and relevant product knowledge.
- Explain test intent and supported behavior separately; emit classification, confidence, evidence, root-cause hypothesis, and
testModificationAllowed.
- In diagnosis-only mode, change nothing. Missing evidence means
UNKNOWN, not a guess.
- Modify only if policy permits it. Never weaken assertions, skip/fixme/delete tests, swallow errors, or force actions.
- Make the smallest repair, run
npm run qa:guardrails, rerun the affected test, and report the exact change and evidence location.
APPLICATION_DEFECT, API_CONTRACT, ENVIRONMENT, and UNKNOWN preserve the failure. LOCATOR_DRIFT permits only a high-confidence locator-only repair. TIMING, TEST_DATA, and ASSERTION_ERROR require review.
