Test Analysis and Fix Planning
Analyzes test results from any testing framework, uses Zen planner to create a systematic fix strategy, and delegates fixes to appropriate subagents.
Usage
/test:analyze <results-path> [--type <test-type>] [--focus <area>]Parameters
<results-path>: Path to test results directory or file (required)
- Examples: ./test-results/, ./coverage/, pytest-report.xml
--type <test-type>: Type of tests (optional, auto-detected if omitted)
- accessibility - Playwright a11y, axe-core - unit - Jest, pytest, cargo test - integration - API tests, database tests - e2e - Playwright, Cypress, Selenium - security - OWASP ZAP, Snyk, TruffleHog - performance - Lighthouse, k6, JMeter
--focus <area>: Specific area to focus on (optional)
- Examples: authentication, api, ui-components, database
Examples
# Analyze Playwright accessibility test results
/test:analyze ./test-results/ --type accessibility
# Analyze unit test failures with focus on auth
/test:analyze ./coverage/junit.xml --type unit --focus authentication
# Auto-detect test type and analyze all issues
/test:analyze ./test-output/
# Analyze security scan results
/test:analyze ./security-report.json --type securityCommand Flow
- Analyze Test Results
- Parse test result files (XML, JSON, HTML, text) - Extract failures, errors, warnings - Categorize issues by type and severity - Identify patterns and root causes
- Plan Fixes with PAL Planner
- Use mcp__pal__planner for systematic planning - Break down complex fixes into actionable steps - Identify dependencies between fixes - Estimate effort and priority
- Delegate to Subagents
- Accessibility issues → code-review agent (WCAG compliance) - Security vulnerabilities → security-audit agent - Performance problems → system-debugging agent - Code quality issues → code-refactoring agent - Test infrastructure → test-architecture agent - Integration failures → system-debugging agent - Documentation gaps → documentation agent
- Execute Plan
- Sequential execution based on dependencies - Verification after each fix - Re-run tests to confirm resolution
Subagent Selection Logic
The command uses this decision tree to delegate:
- Accessibility violations (WCAG, ARIA, contrast) →
code-reviewagent with accessibility focus - Security issues (XSS, SQLi, auth bypass) →
security-auditagent with OWASP analysis - Performance bottlenecks (slow queries, memory leaks) →
system-debuggingagent with profiling - Code smells (duplicates, complexity, coupling) →
code-refactoringagent with SOLID principles - Flaky tests (race conditions, timing issues) →
test-architectureagent with stability analysis - Build/CI failures (pipeline errors, dependency issues) →
cicd-pipelinesagent with workflow optimization
Output
The command produces:
- Summary Report
- Total issues found - Breakdown by category/severity - Top priorities
- Fix Plan (from PAL planner)
- Step-by-step remediation strategy - Dependency graph - Effort estimates
- Subagent Assignments
- Which agent handles which issues - Rationale for delegation - Execution order
- Actionable Next Steps
- Commands to run - Files to modify - Verification steps
Notes
- Works with any test framework that produces structured output
- Auto-detects common test result formats (JUnit XML, JSON, TAP)
- Preserves test evidence for debugging
- Can be chained with
/git:smartcommitfor automated fixes - Respects TDD workflow (RED → GREEN → REFACTOR)
Related Commands
/test:run- Run tests with framework detection/code:review- Manual code review for test files/docs:update- Update test documentation/git:smartcommit- Commit fixes with conventional messages
Prompt:
Analyze test results from {{ARG1}} and create a systematic fix plan.
{{#if ARG2}} Test type: {{ARG2}} {{else}} Auto-detect test type from file formats and content. {{/if}}
{{#if ARG3}} Focus area: {{ARG3}} {{/if}}
Step 1: Analyze Test Results
Read the test result files from {{ARG1}} and extract:
- Failed tests with error messages
- Warnings and deprecations
- Performance metrics (if available)
- Coverage gaps (if available)
- Categorize by: severity (critical/high/medium/low), type (functional/security/performance/accessibility)
Step 2: Use PAL Planner
Call mcp__pal__planner with model "gemini-2.5-pro" to create a systematic fix plan:
- Step 1: Summarize findings and identify root causes
- Step 2: Prioritize issues (impact × effort matrix)
- Step 3: Break down fixes into actionable tasks
- Step 4: Identify dependencies between fixes
- Step 5: Assign each fix category to appropriate subagent
- Continue planning steps as needed for complex scenarios
Step 3: Subagent Delegation Strategy
Based on the issue categories, delegate to:
- Accessibility violations (WCAG, ARIA, color contrast, keyboard nav) → Use
Tasktool withsubagent_type: code-review→ Focus: WCAG 2.1 compliance, semantic HTML, ARIA best practices - Security vulnerabilities (XSS, SQLi, CSRF, auth issues) → Use
Tasktool withsubagent_type: security-audit→ Focus: OWASP Top 10, input validation, authentication - Performance issues (slow tests, memory leaks, timeouts) → Use
Tasktool withsubagent_type: system-debugging→ Focus: Profiling, bottleneck identification, optimization - Code quality (duplicates, complexity, maintainability) → Use
Tasktool withsubagent_type: code-refactoring→ Focus: SOLID principles, DRY, code smells - Flaky/unreliable tests (race conditions, timing, dependencies) → Use
Tasktool withsubagent_type: test-architecture→ Focus: Test stability, isolation, determinism - CI/CD failures (build errors, pipeline issues) → Use
Tasktool withsubagent_type: cicd-pipelines→ Focus: GitHub Actions, dependency management, caching - Documentation gaps (missing docs, outdated examples) → Use
Tasktool withsubagent_type: documentation→ Focus: API docs, test documentation, migration guides
Step 4: Create Execution Plan
For each subagent assignment:
- Context: What files/areas need attention
- Objective: Specific fix goal
- Success Criteria: How to verify the fix
- Dependencies: What must be done first
- Verification: Commands to re-run tests
Step 5: Present Summary
Provide:
- 📊 Issue Breakdown: Count by category and severity
- 🎯 Priorities: Top 3-5 issues to fix first
- 🤖 Subagent Plan: Which agents will handle what
- ✅ Next Steps: Concrete actions to take
- 🔍 Verification: How to confirm fixes worked
{{#if ARG3}} Additional focus on {{ARG3}}: Prioritize issues related to this area and provide extra context for relevant subagents. {{/if}}
Documentation-First Reminder: Before implementing fixes, research relevant documentation using context7 to verify:
- Test framework best practices
- Accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1)
- Security patterns (OWASP)
- Performance optimization techniques
TDD Workflow: Follow RED → GREEN → REFACTOR:
- Verify tests fail (RED) ✓ (already done)
- Implement minimal fix (GREEN)
- Refactor for quality
- Re-run tests to confirm
