Qe Security Visual Testing

Security Visual Testing

Quick Security-Visual Checklist:

• URL validation (no javascript:, data:, file: schemes)
• PII detection (emails, phones, SSN, credit cards, API keys)
• Visual regression (diff threshold < 0.1%)
• Viewport coverage (320px, 768px, 1024px, 1440px)
• Accessibility score (> 90% axe-core pass rate)

Critical Success Factors:

• Always mask PII before storing screenshots
• Test across all target viewports in parallel
• Store baselines in version control
• Run accessibility audits on every visual change

When to Use

Key Capabilities

Workflows

1. Security Visual Audit (Full Pipeline)

# Run complete security + visual audit
aqe test visual-audit --url https://example.com --security --accessibility

Steps:

1. Validate URL security (block malicious schemes)
2. Scan page for security issues (XSS, injection patterns)
3. Capture screenshots across 4 viewports in parallel
4. Compare against stored baselines
5. Run accessibility audit (axe-core)
6. Generate consolidated report

2. PII-Safe Screenshot

# Capture screenshot with automatic PII masking
aqe screenshot --url https://example.com/profile --pii-safe

PII Detection Patterns:

• Email addresses: user@example.com
• Phone numbers: +1-555-123-4567
• Credit cards: 4111-1111-1111-1111
• SSN: 123-45-6789
• API keys: sk_live_..., AKIA...
• Passwords: Form fields with type="password"

Masking Strategy:

• Default: Blur with high intensity
• Options: redact (black box), pixelate, blur

3. Responsive Visual Audit

# Test visual consistency across viewports
aqe test responsive --url https://example.com --viewports mobile,tablet,desktop

Default Viewports:

Integration with AQE v3

Using with BrowserSecurityScanner

import { BrowserSecurityScanner } from '@agentic-qe/v3';

const scanner = new BrowserSecurityScanner(memory, {
  urlValidation: { enabled: true },
  piiDetection: { enabled: true, maskBeforeSave: true },
  parallelViewports: { maxConcurrent: 4 }
});

const result = await scanner.scanUrl('https://example.com', {
  viewports: ['mobile', 'tablet', 'desktop'],
  accessibility: true
});

Using with TrajectoryAdapter

import { TrajectoryAdapter } from '@agentic-qe/v3';

const adapter = new TrajectoryAdapter(memory);

// Record testing trajectory for learning
await adapter.startTrajectory('security-visual-test', {
  url: 'https://example.com',
  testType: 'security-visual'
});

// ... perform tests ...

await adapter.endTrajectory(trajectoryId, {
  success: true,
  piiFound: 3,
  visualRegressions: 0,
  accessibilityScore: 95
});
