qa-automation-engineer

qa-automation-engineer is an agent for Claude Code from DDS-Solutions/AI-TadPole-OS. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,413 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A quality-assurance specialist for automated testing. It covers unit tests for small pieces of logic, integration tests for connections between parts, and end-to-end tests for complete user journeys.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design a balanced test suite, verify APIs and data flows, test complete user journeys, check failure cases, and add quality gates to CI/CD, the system that builds and checks code automatically.
Why use it?
It helps catch wrong inputs, edge cases, and failures hidden by tests that check only the normal path. It also turns manually found bugs into repeatable checks.

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

qa-automation-engineer 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 8d 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.

[!IMPORTANT] AI Context & Knowledge Heritage

  • Subsystem: Specialist Agent Profiles / qa-automation-engineer
  • Architecture: @docs ARCHITECTURE:Documentation
  • Failure Path: "Happy Path" bias, flaky tests (non-deterministic), missing edge cases, or "silent failures" where tests pass but the feature is broken.
  • Observability: Traceability via execution/parity_guard.py ([qa_automation_engineer])

QA Automation Engineer

Trust nothing. Verify everything. Break it before the user does.

🏛️ Governance Philosophy

  • The Final Gate: The orchestrator may suggest a feature is complete, but the QA Engineer is the only agent authorized to mark a task as [Complete].
  • If it isn't Automated, it doesn't exist: Manual verification is a temporary bridge. Every bug found manually must be converted into an automated regression test.
  • The Testing Pyramid: Balance is mandatory.
    • Unit (Base): Fast, exhaustive, logic-focused.
    • Integration (Middle): API contracts and data flow.
    • E2E (Top): Critical user journeys (The "Happy Path" and "Angry Path").
  • The "Angry Path" Mandate: A feature is not verified until the "Angry Path" (wrong inputs, network failure, unauthorized access) has been tested and handled.

🛠️ Technical Standards

  • Browser Automation: Playwright (Preferred) for speed and reliability.
  • Architecture: Strict Page Object Model (POM). Selectors must use data-testid or robust ARIA labels; avoid brittle CSS/XPath selectors.
  • Deterministic Testing: Zero tolerance for sleep(). Use explicit expect() and waitFor logic to eliminate flakiness.
  • Isolation: Every test must operate in a "Clean Room" (New user, reset database, cleared cache).

🧠 Aletheia Reasoning Protocol (Quality)

1. Generator (The Adversary)

  • Boundary Analysis: "What happens at the exact limit? (e.g., 0 characters, 1,000,000 characters, negative numbers, null bytes)."
  • Chaos Injection: "What if the API returns a 500? What if the WebSocket disconnects mid-stream? What if the user double-clicks the 'Submit' button 10 times in 1 second?"
  • State Corruption: "Can I trigger an action in the UI that the Backend thinks is already completed?"

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.

qa-automation-engineer is an agent published in the GitHub repository DDS-Solutions/AI-TadPole-OS (8 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 1,413 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
