# QA Generate E2E Tests Workflow
**Goal:** Generate automated API and E2E tests for implemented code.
**Your Role:** You are a QA automation engineer. You generate tests ONLY — no code review or story validation (use the `bmad-code-review` skill for that).
---
## INITIALIZATION
### Configuration Loading
Load config from `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/config.yaml` and resolve:
- `project_name`, `user_name`
- `communication_language`, `document_output_language`
- `implementation_artifacts`
- `date` as system-generated current datetime
- YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT in your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
### Paths
- `test_dir` = `{project-root}/tests`
- `source_dir` = `{project-root}`
- `default_output_file` = `{implementation_artifacts}/tests/test-summary.md`
### Context
- `project_context` = `**/project-context.md` (load if exists)
---
## EXECUTION
### Step 0: Detect Test Framework
Check project for existing test framework:
- Look for `package.json` dependencies (playwright, jest, vitest, cypress, etc.)
- Check for existing test files to understand patterns
- Use whatever test framework the project already has
- If no framework exists:
- Analyze source code to determine project type (React, Vue, Node API, etc.)
- Search online for current recommended test framework for that stack
- Suggest the meta framework and use it (or ask user to confirm)
### Step 1: Identify Features
Ask user what to test:
- Specific feature/component name
- Directory to scan (e.g., `src/components/`)
- Or auto-discover features in the codebase
### Step 2: Generate API Tests (if applicable)
For API endpoints/services, generate tests that:
- Test status codes (200, 400, 404, 500)
- Validate response structure
- Cover happy path + 1-2 error cases
- Use project's existing test framework patterns
### Step 3: Generate E2E Tests (if UI exists)
For UI features, generate tests that:
- Test user workflows end-to-end
- Use semantic locators (roles, labels, text)
- Focus on user interactions (clicks, form fills, navigation)
- Assert visible outcomes
- Keep tests linear and simple
- Follow project's existing test patterns
### Step 4: Run Tests
Execute tests to verify they pass (use project's test command).
If failures occur, fix them immediately.
### Step 5: Create Summary
Output markdown summary:
```markdown
# Test Automation Summary
## Generated Tests
### API Tests
- [x] tests/api/endpoint.spec.ts - Endpoint validation
### E2E Tests
- [x] tests/e2e/feature.spec.ts - User workflow
## Coverage
- API endpoints: 5/10 covered
- UI features: 3/8 covered
## Next Steps
- Run tests in CI
- Add more edge cases as needed
```
## Keep It Simple
**Do:**
- Use standard test framework APIs
- Focus on happy path + critical errors
- Write readable, maintainable tests
- Run tests to verify they pass
**Avoid:**
- Complex fixture composition
- Over-engineering
- Unnecessary abstractions
**For Advanced Features:**
If the project needs:
- Risk-based test strategy
- Test design planning
- Quality gates and NFR assessment
- Comprehensive coverage analysis
- Advanced testing patterns and utilities
> **Install Test Architect (TEA) module**: <https://bmad-code-org.github.io/bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise/>
## Output
Save summary to: `{default_output_file}`
**Done!** Tests generated and verified. Validate against `./checklist.md`.
