title: "How to Set Up a Test Framework with TEA"
|
|
description: How to set up a production-ready test framework using TEA
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Use TEA's `*framework` workflow to scaffold a production-ready test framework for your project.
|
|
|
|
## When to Use This
|
|
|
|
- No existing test framework in your project
|
|
- Current test setup isn't production-ready
|
|
- Starting a new project that needs testing infrastructure
|
|
- Phase 3 (Solutioning) after architecture is complete
|
|
|
|
:::note[Prerequisites]
|
|
- BMad Method installed
|
|
- Architecture completed (or at least tech stack decided)
|
|
- TEA agent available
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
## Steps
|
|
|
|
### 1. Load the TEA Agent
|
|
|
|
Start a fresh chat and load the TEA (Test Architect) agent.
|
|
|
|
### 2. Run the Framework Workflow
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
*framework
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. Answer TEA's Questions
|
|
|
|
TEA will ask about:
|
|
|
|
- Your tech stack (React, Node, etc.)
|
|
- Preferred test framework (Playwright, Cypress, Jest)
|
|
- Testing scope (E2E, integration, unit)
|
|
- CI/CD platform (GitHub Actions, etc.)
|
|
|
|
### 4. Review Generated Output
|
|
|
|
TEA generates:
|
|
|
|
- **Test scaffold** — Directory structure and config files
|
|
- **Sample specs** — Example tests following best practices
|
|
- **`.env.example`** — Environment variable template
|
|
- **`.nvmrc`** — Node version specification
|
|
- **README updates** — Testing documentation
|
|
|
|
## What You Get
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
tests/
|
|
├── e2e/
|
|
│ ├── example.spec.ts
|
|
│ └── fixtures/
|
|
├── integration/

|
├── unit/
|
|
├── playwright.config.ts # or cypress.config.ts
|
|
└── README.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Optional: Playwright Utils Integration
|
|
|
|
TEA can integrate with `@seontechnologies/playwright-utils` for advanced fixtures:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install -D @seontechnologies/playwright-utils
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Enable during BMad installation or set `tea_use_playwright_utils: true` in config.
|
|
|
|
**Utilities available:** api-request, network-recorder, auth-session, intercept-network-call, recurse, log, file-utils, burn-in, network-error-monitor
|
|
|
|
## Optional: MCP Enhancements
|
|
|
|
TEA can use Playwright MCP servers for enhanced capabilities:
|
|
|
|
- `playwright` — Browser automation
|
|
- `playwright-test` — Test runner with failure analysis
|
|
|
|
Configure in your IDE's MCP settings.
|
|
|
|
## Tips
|
|
|
|
- **Run only once per repository** — Framework setup is a one-time operation
|
|
- **Run after architecture is complete** — Framework aligns with tech stack
|
|
- **Follow up with CI setup** — Run `*ci` to configure CI/CD pipeline
|
|
|
|
## Next Steps
|
|
|
|
After test framework setup:
|
|
|
|
1. **Test Design** — Create test plans for system or epics
|
|
2. **CI Configuration** — Set up automated test runs
|
|
3. **Story Implementation** — Tests are ready for development
