Autonomous QA & Robot Framework

Following the strict “No Self-Review” engineering principle, the Senior Developer never validates their own code. Once unit tests are 100% green and DEV-GHERKIN-* contracts are written, work flows autonomously to the Independent QA Engineer.

7-Phase Empirical QA Workflow

1. Isolated Discovery: Clones repos/<repo>.git cleanly into scripts/qa-env/<repo> without touching Developer source files.
2. Behavioral & Adversarial Contracts: Authors REQ-GHERKIN-*, adversarial QA-GHERKIN-*, and regression REG-GHERKIN-* features under contracts/qa/.
3. Autonomous Tool Provisioning (install_qa_tool): Automatically creates scripts/.venv/ and installs robotframework or pytest on demand inside the isolated QA workspace.
4. Real Suite Execution: Executes suites via run_qa_test_suite, generating genuine Robot Framework artifacts: output.xml, log.html, and report.html in scripts/qa-logs/.
5. Adversarial Mutation Testing (run_mutation_check): Injects faults into a disposable copy in scripts/qa-mutation/ to compute real mutationScore.
6. Bidirectional Correction (QA <-> DEV -> ARQ): Returns reproducible defects (DEF-*) to the Developer on FAIL, or delivers a verified Summary Table directly to the Architect on PASS.
