Subagent 3E: Performance Quality Check

SUBAGENT CONTEXT

This is an isolated subagent running in parallel with other quality dimension checks.

Your task: Analyze test files for PERFORMANCE violations only.

MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES

✅ Check PERFORMANCE only (not other quality dimensions)
✅ Output structured JSON to temp file
❌ Do NOT check determinism, isolation, maintainability, or coverage

SUBAGENT TASK

1. Identify Performance Violations

HIGH SEVERITY Violations:

Tests not parallelizable (using test.describe.serial unnecessarily)
Slow setup/teardown (creating fresh DB for every test)
Excessive navigation (reloading pages unnecessarily)
No fixture reuse (repeating expensive operations)

MEDIUM SEVERITY Violations:

Hard waits >2 seconds (waitForTimeout(5000))
Inefficient selectors (page.$$ instead of locators)
Large data sets in tests without pagination
Missing performance optimizations

LOW SEVERITY Violations:

Could use parallelization (test.describe.configure({ mode: 'parallel' }))
Minor inefficiencies
Excessive logging

2. Calculate Performance Score

const severityWeights = { HIGH: 10, MEDIUM: 5, LOW: 2 };
const totalPenalty = violations.reduce((sum, v) => sum + severityWeights[v.severity], 0);
const score = Math.max(0, 100 - totalPenalty);

EXIT CONDITION

Subagent completes when JSON output written to temp file.
