Test Automation Expansion

Workflow ID: _bmad/tea/testarch/bmad-testarch-automate Version: 5.0 (Step-File Architecture)

Overview

Expands test automation coverage by generating prioritized tests at the appropriate level (E2E, API, Component, Unit) with supporting fixtures and helpers.

Modes:

BMad-Integrated: Uses story/PRD/test-design artifacts when available
Standalone: Analyzes existing codebase without BMad artifacts

WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE

This workflow uses step-file architecture for disciplined execution:

Micro-file Design: Each step is self-contained
JIT Loading: Only the current step file is in memory
Sequential Enforcement: Execute steps in order without skipping

INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE

1. Configuration Loading

From workflow.yaml, resolve:

config_source, test_artifacts, user_name, communication_language, document_output_language, date
test_dir, source_dir, coverage_target, standalone_mode

2. First Step

Load, read completely, and execute: ./steps-c/step-01-preflight-and-context.md

3. Resume Support

If the user selects Resume mode, load, read completely, and execute: ./steps-c/step-01b-resume.md

This checks the output document for progress tracking frontmatter and routes to the next incomplete step.
