Bats Testing Patterns

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to execute automated browser testing using the BATS (Browser Automation Testing System) framework. It allows agents to run specific test patterns and validate web application functionality through headless browser interactions.

When to use it

• You need to verify that a new feature works correctly across different browsers before deployment.
• Your CI/CD pipeline requires automated regression testing of critical user flows.
• You want an AI agent to simulate real user interactions like clicking, typing, and navigating forms.
• You are debugging intermittent UI issues that only appear under specific browser conditions.

Key capabilities

• Executes BATS scripts for structured test automation.
• Supports headless browser environments for faster execution.
• Validates DOM elements and user interface states dynamically.
• Generates detailed reports on test pass/fail statuses.

Example prompts

• "Run the 'login-flow' BATS pattern to verify the authentication page loads correctly."
• "Execute all regression tests in the 'checkout-process' suite and summarize the results."
• "Simulate a user clicking through the product catalog using headless Chrome and report any broken links."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your target web application is accessible via a URL that the agent can reach from its execution environment. BATS scripts require specific syntax; provide clear, structured test cases to avoid parsing errors during execution.
