scoutqa-test

Perform AI-powered exploratory testing on web applications using the scoutqa CLI. Think of ScoutQA as an intelligent testing partner that can autonomously explore, discover issues, and verify features. Delegate testing to multiple parallel ScoutQA executions to maximize coverage while saving time. Use this skill in two scenarios: Example proactive usage: Best practice : When you finish implementing a web feature, proactively start a ScoutQA test in the background to verify it works while you continue with other tasks. Copy this checklist and track your progress: Testing Progress: Step 1: Write specific test prompt See "Writing Effective Prompts" section below for guidelines. Step 2: Run scoutqa command IMPORTANT : Use the Bash tool's timeout parameter (5000ms = 5 seconds) to capture execution details: When calling the Bash tool, set timeout: 5000 as a parameter: In the first few seconds, the command will output: After the 5-second timeout, the Bash tool returns a task ID and the command continues running in the background. You can work on other tasks while the test runs. The timeout is only to capture the initial output (execution ID and browser URL) - the test keeps running both locally as a background task and remotely on ScoutQA's infrastructure.
