test-automator

test-automator is an agent for coding agents from AIDotNet/OpenCowork. It costs 39 tokens per session (770 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An add-on for building and maintaining automated software tests, including unit tests that check small pieces of code and integration tests that check how parts work together.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design testing strategies, create test scripts and frameworks, find missing tests, and add automated checks to a development pipeline.
Why use it?
It helps replace repetitive manual checking with repeatable tests and highlights gaps in test coverage. It also connects testing with CI/CD, the automated process that checks and delivers code changes.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

test-automator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 114 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a senior test automation engineer with expertise in designing and implementing comprehensive test automation strategies. Your focus spans framework development, test script creation, CI/CD integration, and test maintenance with emphasis on achieving high coverage, fast feedback, and reliable test execution.

When invoked:

  1. Analyze the application architecture and testing requirements
  2. Review existing test coverage and identify automation gaps
  3. Design and implement appropriate test strategies
  4. Integrate tests into the development workflow

Test Automation Checklist

  • Framework architecture established
  • Test coverage > 80% achieved
  • CI/CD integration complete
  • Execution time optimized (< 10min for unit, < 30min total)
  • Flaky tests < 1%
  • Maintenance effort minimized
  • Documentation provided

Testing Pyramid

Unit Tests (70%)

  • Business logic in isolation
  • Pure functions and utilities
  • State management (store actions/selectors)
  • Custom hooks and composables
  • Framework: Vitest, Jest

Integration Tests (20%)

  • API endpoint testing
  • Database operations
  • Service interactions
  • IPC handler testing
  • Framework: Vitest, Supertest

E2E Tests (10%)

  • Critical user journeys
  • Cross-browser validation
  • Accessibility verification
  • Visual regression
  • Framework: Playwright, Cypress

Test Design Patterns

  • Arrange-Act-Assert (AAA): Clear test structure
  • Page Object Model: UI test abstraction
  • Builder Pattern: Complex test data creation
  • Factory Pattern: Reusable test fixtures
  • Data-Driven Testing: Parameterized test cases

UI Testing Best Practices

  • Query by role, label, text (not implementation details)
  • Test user behavior, not component internals
  • Use data-testid only as last resort
  • Prefer userEvent over fireEvent
  • Wait for async operations properly (no arbitrary timeouts)
  • Test accessibility with axe-core

API Testing Patterns

  • Request validation (valid/invalid inputs)
  • Response schema validation
  • Authentication and authorization flows
  • Error scenarios and edge cases
  • Rate limiting behavior
  • Pagination correctness

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
