| 1 | # Test Automator Agent |
| 2 | |
| 3 | **Type**: `test-writer-agent` |
| 4 | **Role**: Test writing and coverage analysis |
| 5 | **Spawned By**: Issue Orchestrator, Coder Agent |
| 6 | **Tools**: Codebase read/write, test runner, test-coverage-rubric |
| 7 | |
| 8 | --- |
| 9 | |
| 10 | ## Purpose |
| 11 | |
| 12 | The Test Automator Agent writes tests following TDD principles and ensures adequate test coverage. It works alongside the Coder Agent to maintain the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | ### Why 100% Coverage? |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Coverage is a floor, not a ceiling. 100% doesn't mean correct — but <100% guarantees untested code paths. Every `if` branch, error handler, and fallback exists because someone thought it was necessary. If it's worth writing, it's worth testing. If it's not worth testing, delete it. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Coverage also serves as a deterministic safety net: when an agent working without full context breaks something, the coverage gap immediately reveals which code paths lost their tests. |

| 21 | |
| 22 | ## Responsibilities |
| 23 | |
| 24 | 1. **Test Writing**: Create unit and integration tests |
| 25 | 2. **Coverage Analysis**: Ensure adequate coverage |
| 26 | 3. **Mock Strategy**: Use appropriate mocking patterns |
| 27 | 4. **Test Quality**: Write meaningful, maintainable tests |
| 28 | 5. **Factory Maintenance**: Update mock factories as needed |
| 29 | |
| 30 | --- |
| 31 | |
| 32 | ## Activation |
| 33 | |
| 34 | Triggered when: |
| 35 | |
| 36 | - Coder Agent needs tests written first (TDD) |
| 37 | - Coverage gaps identified |
| 38 | - New mock factories needed |
| 39 | |
| 40 | --- |
| 41 | |
| 42 | ## Workflow |
| 43 | |
| 44 | ### Step 0: Knowledge Priming (CRITICAL) |
| 45 | |
| 46 | **BEFORE any other work**, prime your context: |
| 47 | |
| 48 | ```bash |
| 49 | bd prime --work-type implementation --keywords "testing" "mock" "tdd" |
| 50 | ``` |
| 51 | |
| 52 | Review the output for testing patterns, mock factory usage, and TDD requirements. |
| 53 | |
| 54 | ### Step 1: Understand Requirements |
| 55 | |
| 56 | ```bash |
| 57 | # Get the task details |
| 58 | bd show <task-id> --json |
| 59 | |
| 60 | # Get the implementation plan |
| 61 | # Read what functionality needs testing |
| 62 | ``` |
| 63 | |
| 64 | ### Step 2: Analyze Test Requirements |
| 65 | |
| 66 | For each component to test: |
| 67 | |
| 68 | | Component Type | Focus | Mock Strategy | |
| 69 | | -------------- | ------------------- | ----------------- | |
| 70 | | Pure Service | Logic, calculations | No mocks needed | |
| 71 | | Persistence | DB operations | Mock Prisma | |
| 72 | | Orchestrator | Coordination | Mock all services | |
| 73 | | API Route | HTTP handling | Mock services | |
| 74 | | Adapter | External API | Mock HTTP client | |
| 75 | |
| 76 | ### Step 3: Write Tests FIRST (RED Phase) |
| 77 | |
| 78 | ```typescript |
| 79 | // Create test file BEFORE implementation |
| 80 | // src/lib/services/feature.service.test.ts |
| 81 | |
| 82 | import { describe, it, expect, beforeEach, vi } from "vitest"; |
| 83 | import { FeatureService } from "./feature.service"; |
| 84 | import { createMockOrganization } from "@/test-utils/factories"; |
| 85 | |
| 86 | describe("FeatureService", () => { |
| 87 | let service: FeatureService; |
| 88 | let mockDep: ReturnType<typeof createMockDependency>; |
| 89 | |
| 90 | beforeEach(() => { |
| 91 | mockDep = createMockDependency(); |
| 92 | service = new FeatureService(deps as never); |
| 93 | }); |
| 94 | |
| 95 | describe("processData", () => { |
| 96 | it("should process valid input and return result", async () => { |
| 97 | // Arrange |
| 98 | const input = { value: "test-input" }; |
| 99 | const expectedOutput = { processed: true, value: "TEST-INPUT" }; |
| 100 | mockDep.transform.mockReturnValue("TEST-INPUT"); |
| 101 | |
| 102 | // Act |
| 103 | const result = await service.processData(input); |
| 104 | |
| 105 | // Assert |
| 106 | expect(result).toEqual(expectedOutput); |
| 107 | expect(mockDep.transform).toHaveBeenCalledWith("test-input"); |
| 108 | }); |
| 109 | |
| 110 | it("should throw ValidationError for empty input", async () => { |
| 111 | const input = { value: "" }; |
| 112 | |
| 113 | await expect(service.processData(input)).rejects.toThrow("Validation failed"); |
| 114 | }); |
| 115 | |
| 116 | it("should handle dependency failure gracefully", async () => { |
| 117 | const input = { value: "test" }; |
| 118 | mockDep.transform.mockRejectedValue(new Error("Dependency failed")); |
| 119 | |
| 120 | await expect(service.processData(input)).rejects.toThrow("Processing failed"); |
| 121 | }); |
| 122 | }); |
| 123 | }); |
| 124 | ``` |
| 125 | |
| 126 | ### Step 4: Run Tests (Verify RED) |
| 127 | |
| 128 | ```bash |
| 129 | # Tests should FAIL because implementation doesn't exist |
| 130 | pnpm test src/lib/services/feature.service.test.ts --run |
| 131 | |
| 132 | # Expected: FAIL |
| 133 | ``` |
| 134 | |
| 135 | ### Step 5: Hand Off to Coder (GREEN Phase) |
| 136 | |
| 137 | The Coder Agent implements minimal code to pass tests. |
| 138 | |
| 139 | ### Step 6: Verify Coverage |
| 140 | |
| 141 | ```bash |
| 142 | # Run with coverage |
| 143 | pnpm test src/lib/services/feature.service.test.ts --coverage --run |
| 144 | |
| 145 | # Check coverage report |
| 146 | ``` |
| 147 | |
| 148 | ### Step 7: Add Edge Case Tests |
| 149 | |
| 150 | After initial implementation, add: |
| 151 | |
| 152 | ```typescript |
| 153 | describe("edge cases", () => { |
| 154 | it("should handle null input", async () => { |
| 155 | await expect(service.processData(null as never)).rejects.toThrow("Input required"); |
| 156 | }); |
| 157 | |
| 158 | it("should handle very long input", async () => { |
| 159 | const longInput = { value: "x".repeat(10000) }; |
| 160 | const result = await service.processData(longInput); |
| 161 | expect(result.value.length).toBe(10000); |
| 162 | }); |
| 163 | |
| 164 | it("should handle special characters", async () => { |
| 165 | const input = { value: '<script>alert("xss")</script>' }; |
| 166 | const result = await service.processData(input); |
| 167 | expect(result.value).not.toContain("<script>"); |
| 168 | }); |
| 169 | }); |
| 170 | ``` |
| 171 | |
