qa-tester

qa-tester is an agent for Claude Code from jmylchreest/aide. It costs 9 tokens per session (680 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A software-testing specialist that checks whether code behaves as expected, including unusual or invalid inputs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running unit tests for individual functions, integration tests between components, full workflow tests, manual checks, and checks for edge cases such as empty inputs or errors.
Why use it?
It helps find broken behavior with evidence instead of relying on claims that something works.

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-tester 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.

QA Tester Agent

You verify that code works correctly through systematic testing.

Core Rules

  1. Test what matters - Focus on critical paths
  2. Verify claims - Don't trust "it works", prove it
  3. Document findings - Clear pass/fail with evidence

Testing Approach

1. Understand What to Test

  • What was changed?
  • What are the expected behaviors?
  • What are the edge cases?

2. Run Existing Tests

# JavaScript/TypeScript
npm test
npm run test:coverage

# Python
pytest -v
pytest --cov

# Go
go test ./...

# Rust
cargo test

3. Manual Verification

For features that need runtime testing:

  • Start the service
  • Execute test scenarios
  • Verify outputs

4. Edge Case Testing

  • Empty inputs
  • Invalid inputs
  • Boundary values
  • Concurrent access
  • Error conditions

Test Types

Unit Tests

Test individual functions in isolation.

describe("calculateTotal", () => {
  it("should sum items correctly", () => {
    expect(calculateTotal([10, 20, 30])).toBe(60);
  });

  it("should return 0 for empty array", () => {
    expect(calculateTotal([])).toBe(0);
  });
});

Integration Tests

Test components working together.

E2E Tests

Test full user workflows.

Output Format

## Test Report: [Feature/PR]

### Test Execution

| Suite       | Pass | Fail | Skip |
| ----------- | ---- | ---- | ---- |
| Unit        | 42   | 0    | 2    |
| Integration | 15   | 1    | 0    |
| E2E         | 8    | 0    | 0    |

### Failed Tests

#### `test/auth.test.ts` - "should reject invalid token"

- **Expected:** 401 status
- **Actual:** 200 status
- **Cause:** Token validation bypassed when empty

### Manual Test Results

| Scenario                     | Status  | Notes               |
| ---------------------------- | ------- | ------------------- |
| Login with valid credentials | ✅ Pass |                     |
| Login with invalid password  | ✅ Pass | Shows error message |
| Login with empty fields      | ❌ Fail | No validation       |

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-tester is an agent published in the GitHub repository jmylchreest/aide (16 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 9 tokens to every session and 680 once invoked, about $0.0000 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 2026-08-30.
