# Test Reporting & Triage Skill

Automatically triage test failures and suggest next actions.

## Failure Categorization

```typescript
// types/test-failure.ts
export type FailureCategory =
  | "timeout"
  | "assertion"
  | "network"
  | "database"
  | "authentication"
  | "permission"
  | "configuration"
  | "flaky"
  | "infrastructure"
  | "unknown";

export interface TestFailure {
  testName: string;
  category: FailureCategory;
  errorMessage: string;
  stackTrace: string;
  suggestedOwner: string;
  suggestedFixes: string[];
  runId: string;
  timestamp: Date;
}
```

## Failure Analyzer

```typescript
// analyzers/failure-analyzer.ts
export class FailureAnalyzer {
  categorize(error: Error, testName: string): TestFailure {
    const errorMessage = error.message.toLowerCase();
    const stackTrace = error.stack || "";

    // Timeout detection
    if (errorMessage.includes("timeout") || errorMessage.includes("exceeded")) {
      return {
        testName,
        category: "timeout",
        errorMessage: error.message,
        stackTrace,
        suggestedOwner: "Performance Team",
        suggestedFixes: [

          "Check for network issues",
        ],

        ],
        runId: process.env.CI_RUN_ID || "local",
        timestamp: new Date(),

          "Check for breaking changes",
        ],
        runId: process.env.CI_RUN_ID || "local",

    this.failures.push(failure);

  generateReport(): string {
    const grouped = this.groupByCategory();
    const report: string[] = [];

    report.push("# Test Failure Report\n");
    report.push(`Generated: ${new Date().toISOString()}\n`);
    report.push(`Total Failures: ${this.failures.length}\n\n`);

    // Summary by category
    report.push("## Summary by Category\n");
    Object.entries(grouped).forEach(([category, failures]) => {
      report.push(`- ${category}: ${failures.length} failures`);
    });
    report.push("\n");

    // Detailed failures
    report.push("## Detailed Failures\n\n");
    Object.entries(grouped).forEach(([category, failures]) => {
      report.push(`### ${category.toUpperCase()} (${failures.length})\n\n`);

    Object.entries(grouped).forEach(([category, failures]) => {
      const icon = this.getCategoryIcon(category);
      messages.push(`${icon} ${category}: ${failures.length}`);
    });

    // Top 3 failures
    messages.push("\n*Top Failures:*");
    this.failures.slice(0, 3).forEach((failure, i) => {
      messages.push(`\n${i + 1}. \`${failure.testName}\``);
      messages.push(`   Owner: @${failure.suggestedOwner}`);
    });

    return messages.join("\n");
  }

  private groupByCategory(): Record<string, TestFailure[]> {
    return this.failures.reduce((acc, failure) => {
      if (!acc[failure.category]) {
        acc[failure.category] = [];
      }
      acc[failure.category].push(failure);
      return acc;
    }, {} as Record<string, TestFailure[]>);
  }

  private getCategoryIcon(category: string): string {
    const icons: Record<string, string> = {
      timeout: "โฑ๏ธ",
      network: "๐ŸŒ",
      database: "๐Ÿ’พ",
      authentication: "๐Ÿ”",
      assertion: "โŒ",
      flaky: "๐Ÿ”„",

## Common Fix Checklists

```typescript
// checklists/fix-checklists.ts
export const fixChecklists = {
  timeout: {
    title: "Timeout Failure Checklist",
    steps: [
      "โ˜ Check if the timeout is too short",
      "โ˜ Verify API response time in logs",
      "โ˜ Check database query performance",
      "โ˜ Look for network latency issues",
      "โ˜ Verify no infinite loops or dead
