# Step 2: Identify Automation Targets
## STEP GOAL
Determine what needs to be tested and select appropriate test levels and priorities.
## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES
- 📖 Read the entire step file before acting
- ✅ Speak in `{communication_language}`
- 🚫 Avoid duplicate coverage across test levels
---
## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
- 🎯 Follow the MANDATORY SEQUENCE exactly
- 💾 Record outputs before proceeding
- 📖 Load the next step only when instructed
## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- Available context: config, loaded artifacts, and knowledge fragments
- Focus: this step's goal only
- Limits: do not execute future steps
- Dependencies: prior steps' outputs (if any)
## MANDATORY SEQUENCE
**CRITICAL:** Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise.
## 1. Determine Targets
**BMad-Integrated:**
- Map acceptance criteria to test scenarios
- Check for existing ATDD outputs to avoid duplication
- Expand coverage with edge cases and negative paths
**Standalone:**
- If specific target feature/files are provided, focus there
- Otherwise auto-discover features in `{source_dir}`
- Prioritize critical paths, integrations, and untested logic
**If {detected_stack} is `frontend` or `fullstack`:**
**Browser Exploration (if `tea_browser_automation` is `cli` or `auto`):**
> **Fallback:** If CLI is not installed, fall back to MCP (if available) or skip browser exploration and rely on code/doc analysis.
Use CLI to explore the application and identify testable pages/flows:
1. `playwright-cli -s=tea-automate open <target_url>`
2. `playwright-cli -s=tea-automate snapshot` → capture page structure and element refs
3. Analyze snapshot output to identify testable elements and flows
4. `playwright-cli -s=tea-automate close`
> **Session Hygiene:** Always close sessions using `playwright-cli -s=tea-automate close`. Do NOT use `close-all` — it kills every session on the machine and breaks parallel execution.
**If {detected_stack} is `backend` or `fullstack`:**
**Source & API Analysis (no browser exploration):**
- Scan source code for route handlers, controllers, service classes, and public APIs
- Read OpenAPI/Swagger specs (`openapi.yaml`, `swagger.json`) if available
- Identify database models, migrations, and data access patterns
- Map service-to-service integrations and message queue consumers/producers
- Check for existing contract tests (Pact, etc.)
---
**If `use_pactjs_utils` is enabled — Provider Endpoint Mapping (all stacks):**
When consumer-driven contract tests will be generated, build a Provider Endpoint Map during target identification. This applies to all `{detected_stack}` values — frontend, backend, and fullstack consumers all need provider scrutiny.
1. **Locate provider source and/or OpenAPI spec**: Scan workspace for provider project (from config, monorepo structure, or adjacent repositories). Also check for OpenAPI/Swagger spec files (`openapi.yaml`, `openapi.json`, `swagger.json`) — these document the provider's contract explicitly and can supplement or replace handler code analysis.
2. **Map each consumer endpoint** to its provider counterpart:
- Provider file path (route handler)
- Route pattern (METHOD + path)
- Validation schema location (Joi, Zod, class-validator) or OpenAPI request schema
- Response type/DTO definition location or OpenAPI response schema
- OpenAPI spec path (if available, e.g., `server/openapi.yaml`)
3. **Output as "Provider Endpoint Map" table** in the coverage plan:
```markdown
| Consumer Endpoint | Provider File | Route | Validation Schema | Response Type | OpenAPI Spec |
| --------------------- | --------------------------------- | ------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| GET /api/v2/users/:id | server/src/routes/userHandlers.ts | GET /api/v2/users/:userId | server/src/validation/user.ts | UserResponseDto | server/openapi.yaml#/paths/~1api~1v2~1users~1{id} |
| POST /api/v2/users | server/src/routes/userHandlers.ts | POST /api/v2/users | server/src/validation/createUser.ts | UserResponseDto | server/openapi.yaml#/paths/~1api~1v2~1users |
```
4. **If provider source not accessible**: Mark entries with `TODO — provider source not accessible` and note in coverage plan that provider scrutiny will use graceful degradation (see `contract-testing.md` Provider Scrutiny Protocol)
---
## 2. Choose Test Levels
Use `test-levels-framework.md` to select:
- **E2E** for critical user journeys
- **API** for business logic and service contracts
- **Component** for UI behavior
- **Unit** for pure logic and edge cases
---
## 3. Assign Priorities
Use `test-priorities-matrix.md`:
- P0: Critical path + high risk
- P1: Important flows + medium/high risk
- P2: Secondary + edge cases
- P3: Optional/rare scenarios
---
## 4. Coverage Plan
Produce a concise coverage plan:
- Targets by test level
- Priority assignments
- Justification for coverage scope (critical-paths/comprehensive/selective)
---
## 5. Save Progress
**Save this step's accumulated work to `{outputFile}`.**
- **If `{outputFile}` does not exist** (first save), create it with YAML frontmatter:
```yaml
---
stepsCompleted: ['step-02-identify-targets']
lastStep: 'step-02-identify-targets'
lastSaved: '{date}'
---
```
Then write this step's output below the frontmatter.
- **If `{outputFile}` already exists**, update:
- Add `'step-02-identify-targets'` to `stepsCompleted` array (only if not already present)
- Set `lastStep: 'step-02-identify-targets'`
- Set `lastSaved: '{date}'`
- Append this step's output to the appropriate section.
Load next step: `{nextStepFile}`
## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS:
### ✅ SUCCESS:
- Step completed in full with required outputs
### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
- Skipped sequence steps or missing outputs
**Master Rule:** Skipping steps is FORBIDDEN.
