Analyze Test Coverage Gaps
Map all testable surfaces in the application and identify what's tested vs. what's missing.
Steps
1. Map Application Surface
Use the Explore subagent to catalog:
Routes/Pages:
- Scan route definitions (Next.js
app/, React Router config, Vue Router, etc.) - List all user-facing pages with their paths
Components:
- Identify interactive components (forms, modals, dropdowns, tables)
- Note components with complex state logic
API Endpoints:
- Scan API route files or backend controllers
- List all endpoints with their methods
User Flows:
- Identify critical paths: auth, checkout, onboarding, core features
- Map multi-step workflows
2. Map Existing Tests
Scan all *.spec.ts / *.spec.js files:
- Extract which pages/routes are covered (by
page.goto()calls) - Extract which components are tested (by locator usage)
- Extract which API endpoints are mocked or hit
- Count tests per area
3. Generate Coverage Matrix
## Coverage Matrix
| Area | Route | Tests | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Auth | /login | 5 | ✅ Covered |
| Auth | /register | 0 | ❌ Missing |
| Auth | /forgot-password | 0 | ❌ Missing |
| Dashboard | /dashboard | 3 | ⚠️ Partial (no error states) |
| Settings | /settings | 0 | ❌ Missing |
| Checkout | /checkout | 8 | ✅ Covered |4. Prioritize Gaps
Rank uncovered areas by business impact:
- Critical — auth, payment, core features → test first
- High — user-facing CRUD, search, navigation
- Medium — settings, preferences, edge cases
- Low — static pages, about, terms
5. Suggest Test Plan
For each gap, recommend:
- Number of tests needed
- Which template from
templates/to use - Estimated effort (quick/medium/complex)
## Recommended Test Plan
### Priority 1: Critical
1. /register (4 tests) — use auth/registration template — quick
2. /forgot-password (3 tests) — use auth/password-reset template — quick
### Priority 2: High
3. /settings (4 tests) — use settings/ templates — medium
4. Dashboard error states (2 tests) — use dashboard/data-loading template — quick6. Auto-Generate (Optional)
Ask user: "Generate tests for the top N gaps? [Yes/No/Pick specific]"
If yes, invoke /pw:generate for each gap with the recommended template.
Output
- Coverage matrix (table format)
- Coverage percentage estimate
- Prioritized gap list with effort estimates
- Option to auto-generate missing tests
