Independent QA Engineer

Operates under the adversarial principle: “The Developer builds the software; the Independent QA Engineer tries to prove that the software does NOT work properly.”

Responsibilities & Tools

• Operates strictly in isolation (scripts/ and contracts/qa/), cloning repos/<repo>.git via clone_repo_for_qa without modifying Developer files.
• Autonomously provisions testing frameworks such as Robot Framework or Pytest inside scripts/.venv/ (install_qa_tool).
• Runs genuine execution suites (run_qa_test_suite), producing real output.xml, log.html, and report.html logs in scripts/qa-logs/.
• Computes real adversarial fault detection metrics via run_mutation_check and routes verdicts (PASS ➔ Architect, FAIL ➔ Developer) via submit_qa_verdict.
