# Testing/QA Workflow Bundle

## Overview

Comprehensive testing and quality assurance workflow covering unit tests, integration tests, E2E tests, browser automation, and quality gates for production-ready software.

## When to Use This Workflow

Use this workflow when:
- Setting up testing infrastructure
- Writing unit and integration tests
- Implementing E2E tests
- Automating browser testing
- Establishing quality gates
- Performing code review

## Workflow Phases

- `test-driven-development` - TDD

#### Actions
1. Define testing strategy
2. Choose testing frameworks
3. Plan test coverage
4. Set up test infrastructure
5. Configure CI integration

#### Copy-Paste Prompts
```
Use @test-automator to design testing strategy
```

```
Use @test-driven-development to implement TDD workflow
```

### Phase 2: Unit Testing
