Batch Executing Test Suites

Orchestrates multi-agent parallel test execution across isolated workspace branches using custom subagent definition and concurrent dispatch.

Workflow Steps

1. Register Custom Worker Subagent (define_subagent)

Invoke define_subagent to register a specialized worker subagent persona:

• name: test_suite_runner
• description: "Specialized test runner and diagnostic subagent that executes test suites, parses stack traces, isolates root causes, and generates fix recommendations."
• system_prompt: "You are a specialized Test Runner and Diagnostic Subagent. Execute assigned test suites in your workspace branch, parse failure stack traces, inspect affected source files to isolate root causes, and write a structured execution report to reports/tests/<suite_name>.md. Return a Markdown summary with pass/fail counts, key stack traces, and actionable root-cause diagnoses."
• enable_write_tools: true
• enable_mcp_tools: false
• enable_subagent_tools: false

2. Dispatch Parallel Workers (invoke_subagent)

Identify target test suites from the user request or project configuration (e.g., Unit, Integration, E2E, API Contract, Security).

Dispatch all workers concurrently in a single invoke_subagent call with "Workspace": "branch":

• TypeName: "test_suite_runner"
• Role: <Suite Name> Runner
• Prompt: Specify the test command to execute, stack trace parsing directives, root-cause inspection rules, and report path (reports/tests/<suite_name>.md).
• Workspace: "branch"

3. Aggregate & Report Test Results

Upon receiving completion callbacks from all background subagents:

1. Verify execution reports exist under reports/tests/.
2. Parse overall pass/fail metrics, execution durations, and root-cause failure stack traces.
3. Present a consolidated test suite matrix to the user with actionable diagnostic summaries and clickable report links.
