Vibe Testing: Test Automation Checklist for Vibe Coder

A comprehensive vibe test automation checklist for vibe coder, ensuring high-quality software delivery through effective testing practices.

Overview

Quality assurance and testing are essential for any software application, yet they're often implemented inconsistently or without a strategic approach. This repository contains a comprehensive Test Automation Checklist that aligns with industry-leading best practices to help vibe coders, developers, and teams ensure their applications are thoroughly tested and reliable.

How to Use This Checklist

For Cursor/Windsurf:

  1. Clone this repository or download the files
  2. Copy the test_automation.md file into your project's /documentation folder
  3. Commit and push to your repo to ensure it's accessible to your team

For Simpler Tools (e.g., Lovable):

Simply copy and paste the contents of test_automation.md directly into the chat window to easily share and track testing implementation with your team.

What's Included

This repository contains a comprehensive test automation checklist covering 12 critical areas:

  1. Testing Strategy
  2. Testing Levels (Unit, Integration, System, Acceptance)
  3. Test Automation Frameworks
  4. Test Coverage & Quality
  5. Continuous Integration & Delivery (CI/CD)
  6. Environment Management
  7. Test Data & Fixtures
  8. Performance & Load Testing
  9. Security Testing
  10. Test Maintenance & Organization
  11. Reporting & Analytics
  12. Continuous Improvement

Relationship with Web Application Security

This Test Automation Checklist works hand-in-hand with the Web Application Security Checklist:

  • Security First: Always start by implementing the Web Application Security Checklist to build a secure foundation
  • Testing Second: Once security foundations are in place, use this Test Automation Checklist to verify functionality and prevent regressions
  • Complete Pipeline: Together, they form a comprehensive quality assurance process that ensures both security and functionality

Recommended Implementation Order

For the best results, we recommend implementing these checklists in the following order:

  1. Implement critical security controls from the Web App Security Checklist
  2. Set up basic automated tests following this Test Automation Checklist
  3. Integrate both into a CI/CD pipeline that runs security scans first, followed by automated tests
  4. Gradually expand coverage for both security and testing

Benefits

✅ Catch bugs early in the development process, reducing costs and time to fix
✅ Ensure consistent quality across releases with repeatable, automated tests
✅ Build confidence in your codebase through comprehensive test coverage
✅ Enable faster delivery through reliable CI/CD pipelines
✅ Reduce manual testing effort through strategic automation

CI/CD for Vibe Coders (Explained Simply)

CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery) is like having an automated assistant that:

  1. Watches your code - Notices when you make changes
  2. Tests everything automatically - Runs all your tests without you having to remember
  3. Tells you immediately if something breaks - So you can fix it right away
  4. Helps get your code to users faster - By automating the boring parts

With good tests and security checks in your CI/CD pipeline, you can:

  • Make changes confidently without breaking things
  • Deliver new features faster and more reliably
  • Spend less time on manual testing
  • Focus on building cool features instead of fixing bugs
