# Workflow Audit Report
**Workflow:** testarch-framework
**Audit Date:** 2025-10-16
**Auditor:** Audit Workflow (BMAD v6)
**Workflow Type:** Action workflow (no template)
**Workflow Path:** `/Users/brianmadison/dev/BMAD-METHOD/src/modules/bmm/workflows/testarch/framework`
---
## Executive Summary
**Overall Status:** ⚠️ CONCERNS - Some bloat detected, missing web_bundle configuration
- Critical Issues: 1
- Important Issues: 1
- Cleanup Recommendations: 4
**Key Findings:**
1. ✅ Standard config block is correctly configured
2. ✅ Action workflow correctly configured (template: false implied, no template file)
3. ⚠️ Moderate bloat detected - 14 variables defined with ~50% bloat
4. ❌ No web_bundle configuration (critical for web deployment)
5. ✅ Instructions well-written with good knowledge base integration
---
## 1. Standard Config Block Validation
### Required Variables Check
✅ **Config Source Check:**
- [x] `config_source` is defined: `"{project-root}/bmad/bmm/config.yaml"`
- [x] Points to correct module config path (bmm)
- [x] Uses {project-root} variable
✅ **Standard Variables Check:**
- [x] `output_folder` pulls from config_source: `"{config_source}:output_folder"`
- [x] `user_name` pulls from config_source: `"{config_source}:user_name"`
- [x] `communication_language` pulls from config_source: `"{config_source}:communication_language"`
- [x] `date` is set to system-generated: `"system-generated"`
**Status:** ✅ **PASS** - All standard config variables present and correctly configured
---
## 2. YAML/Instruction/Template Alignment
### Variables Analysis
**Total YAML fields analyzed:** 14 variables defined in workflow.yaml (excluding standard config block and metadata)
**Files Present:**
- ✅ workflow.yaml
- ✅ instructions.md
- ✅ checklist.md
- ❌ No template file (correct for action workflow)
**Workflow Type:** Action workflow (no template: field, defaults to false)
### Categorization:
#### INSTRUCTION_USED (Variables referenced in instructions.md):
**Explicitly used with {variable} syntax:**
- {project-root} - Used throughout instructions for paths
- None of the workflow variables are explicitly referenced with {variable} syntax in instructions
**Contextually referenced:**
- test_framework - Mentioned conceptually ("Playwright or Cypress")
- project_type - Mentioned in "Extract project type (React, Vue, Angular...)"
- bundler - Mentioned in "Identify bundler (Vite, Webpack...)"
- test_dir - Used conceptually as "Root test directory"
- config_file - Framework config file paths mentioned
- use_typescript - TypeScript preference mentioned
- framework_preference - Framework selection logic
- project_size - Framework selection criteria
**Output path used:**
- default_output_file: "{test_dir}/README.md" - Used for main deliverable
#### Variables with NO clear usage:
**Bloat Variables:**
1. `standalone_mode: true` - Not referenced in instructions (appears to be a flag for workflow behavior, not used)
2. `generate_env_example: true` - Behavior flag, but .env.example is generated unconditionally in Step 2.4
3. `generate_nvmrc: true` - Behavior flag, but .nvmrc is generated unconditionally in Step 2.5
4. `generate_readme: true` - Behavior flag, but README is generated unconditionally in Step 2.10
5. `generate_sample_tests: true` - Behavior flag, but sample tests are generated unconditionally in Step 2.8
**Empty Placeholders (should be elicited):** 6. `test_framework: ""` - Should be elicited with <ask> tag 7. `project_type: ""` - Auto-detected, empty placeholder unnecessary 8. `bundler: ""` - Auto-detected, empty placeholder unnecessary 9. `config_file: ""` - Derived path, should be calculated not declared
**Total Variables Analyzed:** 14 variables
**Used in Instructions (contextually):** ~8 (test_framework, project_type, bundler, test_dir, use_typescript, framework_preference, project_size, default_output_file)
**Unused (Bloat):** ~6 variables (43% bloat)
**Bloat Breakdown:**
- Boolean behavior flags: 5 (generate_env_example, generate_nvmrc, generate_readme, generate_sample_tests, standalone_mode)
- Empty placeholders: 3 (test_framework, project_type, bundler) - should use <ask> instead
- Derived paths: 1 (config_file) - should be calculated
**Status:** ⚠️ **CONCERNS** - Moderate bloat (43% of variables unused or redundant)
---
## 3. Config Variable Usage
### Communication Language Check:
- ❌ **MISSING** - No "communicate in {communication_language}" pattern found in instructions
- Instructions do not reference communication_language variable
- Severity: IMPORTANT
### User Name Check:
- ❌ **MISSING** - No {user_name} usage found in instructions
- No personalization or greeting patterns detected
- Severity: MINOR (optional for this workflow type)
### Output Folder Check:
- ⚠️ **INDIRECT** - Output folder is used via default_output_file: "{test_dir}/README.md"
- However, test_dir defaults to "{project-root}/tests", not {output_folder}
- This workflow creates artifacts in the test directory, not the output folder
- This is ACCEPTABLE for a setup workflow (artifacts belong in test infrastructure)
- Severity: N/A (appropriate for this workflow)
### Date Usage Check:
- ✅ **AVAILABLE** - Date is defined for potential use in documentation
- Not explicitly used but available if needed
- Severity: N/A
**Status:** ⚠️ **IMPORTANT** - Config variables not properly utilized (communication_language missing)
---
## 4. Web Bundle Validation
### Web Bundle Present: ❌ **NO**
**Status:** ❌ **CRITICAL** - No web_bundle configuration found
The workflow.yaml contains:
```yaml
web_bundle: false
```
This means the workflow is **NOT** configured for web deployment.
**Missing web_bundle requirements:**
- No web_bundle_files list
- No existing_workflows mapping
- No web deployment path configuration
**Knowledge Fragment Dependencies Detected in Instructions:**
The instructions reference loading knowledge fragments from `tea-index.csv`:
- `fixture-architecture.md` - Pure function → fixture → mergeTests composition (406 lines, 5 examples)
- `data-factories.md` - Faker-based factories with overrides (498 lines, 5 examples)
- `network-first.md` - Network-first testing safeguards (489 lines, 5 examples)
- `playwright-config.md` - Playwright configuration standards (722 lines, 5 examples)
- `test-quality.md` - Test design principles (658 lines, 5 examples)
These fragments should be declared in a web_bundle configuration for web deployment.
**Expected web_bundle structure:**
```yaml
web_bundle:
workflow_path: 'bmad/bmm/workflows/testarch/framework/workflow.yaml'
web_bundle_files:
- 'bmad/bmm/workflows/testarch/framework/instructions.md'
- 'bmad/bmm/workflows/testarch/framework/checklist.md'
- 'bmad/bmm/testarch/knowledge/fixture-architecture.md'
- 'bmad/bmm/testarch/knowledge/data-factories.md'
- 'bmad/bmm/testarch/knowledge/network-first.md'
- 'bmad/bmm/testarch/knowledge/playwright-config.md'
- 'bmad/bmm/testarch/knowledge/test-quality.md'
- 'bmad/bmm/testarch/tea-index.csv'
```
**Impact:** This workflow cannot be bundled for web deployment without web_bundle configuration.
**Severity:** CRITICAL (if web deployment is intended)
---
## 5. Bloat Detection
### Unused YAML Fields Analysis
**Total YAML fields:** 14 variables (excluding standard config and metadata)
**Used fields:** ~8 (57%)
**Unused fields:** ~6 (43%)
**Bloat percentage:** **43%**
### Bloat Categories:
#### Category 1: Boolean Behavior Flags (Should be removed - outputs generated unconditionally)
These variables suggest conditional generation, but the instructions generate these artifacts unconditionally:
1. **`generate_env_example: true`**
- Instructions always generate `.env.example` in Step 2.4
- Flag has no effect on workflow behavior
- **Recommendation:** Remove variable, always generate .env.example
2. **`generate_nvmrc: true`**
- Instructions always generate `.nvmrc` in Step 2.5
- Flag has no effect on workflow behavior
- **Recommendation:** Remove variable, always generate .nvmrc
3. **`generate_readme: true`**
- Instructions always generate `tests/README.md` in Step 2.10
- Flag has no effect on workflow behavior
- **Recommendation:** Remove variable, always generate README
4. **`generate_sample_tests: true`**
- Instructions always generate sample tests in Step 2.8
- Flag has no effect on workflow behavior
- **Recommendation:** Remove variable, always generate samples
5. **`standalone_mode: true`**
- Not referenced anywhere in instructions
- Purpose unclear (possibly for workflow orchestration?)
- **Recommendation:** Remove if unused, or document purpose
**Impact:** These 5 variables create false impression of configurability when behavior is hardcoded.
#### Category 2: Empty Placeholders (Should use <ask> tags instead)
These variables are empty strings waiting to be populated, but instructions should elicit them dynamically:
6. **`test_framework: ""`**
- Instructions describe auto-detection logic in Step 2.1
- Should use <ask> tag if auto-detection fails
- **Recommendation:** Remove variable, use <ask> in instructions
7. **`project_type: ""`**
- Auto-detected from package.json in Step 1.1
- Empty placeholder unnecessary
- **Recommendation:** Remove variable, detect in instructions
8. **`bundler: ""`**
- Auto-detected from package.json in Step 1.1
- Empty placeholder unnecessary
- **Recommendation:** Remove variable, detect in instructions
9. **`config_file: ""`**
- Derived path: `{project-root}/{framework}.config.{ts|js}`
- Should be calculated in instructions based on detected framework
- **Recommendation:** Remove variable, calculate in instructions
**Impact:** These 4 variables add no value and clutter the configuration.
#### Category 3: Acceptable Variables (Keep these)
These variables have legitimate workflow-specific purpose:
1. **`test_dir: "{project-root}/tests"`** - KEEP
- Defines root test directory location
- Used throughout instructions for directory structure
- User might want to customize (e.g., "e2e-tests")
2. **`use_typescript: true`** - KEEP
- Determines whether to generate .ts or .js files
- Legitimate configuration option
3. **`framework_preference: "auto"`** - KEEP
- Allows user to override auto-detection (playwright, cypress, auto)
- Legitimate configuration option
4. **`project_size: "auto"`** - KEEP
- Influences framework recommendation (small, large, auto)
- Legitimate configuration option
5. **`default_output_file: "{test_dir}/README.md"`** - KEEP
- Standard workflow output path
- Required field
**Total Bloat Items:** 9 variables should be removed or relocated
**Bloat Percentage:** 64% (9 of 14 variables)
**Cleanup Potential:** MEDIUM - Removing bloat would reduce variables from 14 to 5
---
## 6. Template Variable Mapping
**Workflow Type:** Action workflow (no template)
**Template File:** None (correct)
**Template Variable Mapping:** N/A - This is an action workflow that generates files directly (config files, fixtures, sample tests, README).
**<template-output> Tags:** None (correct for action workflow)
**Status:** ✅ **N/A** - Action workflow correctly configured without template
---
## Recommendations
### Critical (Fix Immediately)
1. **Add web_bundle configuration**
- Add web_bundle block with all required files (instructions, checklist)
- Map knowledge fragments (fixture-architecture.md, data-factories.md, network-first.md, playwright-config.md, test-quality.md)
- Include tea-index.csv for knowledge base access
- Enable web deployment capability
- Severity: CRITICAL
- Impact: Workflow cannot be deployed to web without this
### Important (Address Soon)
2. **Add config variable usage in instructions**
- Add communication_language support for multilingual workflows
- Add greeting or summary using {user_name}
- Ensure proper integration with BMAD v6 config standards
- Severity: IMPORTANT
- Impact: Workflows not following BMAD v6 conventions
### Cleanup (Nice to Have)
3. **Remove boolean behavior flags (5 variables)**
- Delete: `generate_env_example`, `generate_nvmrc`, `generate_readme`, `generate_sample_tests`, `standalone_mode`
- These artifacts are always generated (flags have no effect)
- Simplifies configuration and removes false impression of conditionality
- Severity: CLEANUP
- Impact: Reduces bloat from 64% to 29%, improves clarity
4. **Remove empty placeholder variables (4 variables)**
- Delete: `test_framework: ""`, `project_type: ""`, `bundler: ""`, `config_file: ""`
- Use <ask> tags in instructions to elicit test_framework if auto-detection fails
- Auto-detect project_type and bundler in instructions (no variable needed)
- Calculate config_file path in instructions based on detected framework
- Severity: CLEANUP
- Impact: Reduces variable count from 14 to 5 (64% reduction)
5. **Add <ask> tag for framework selection**
- In Step 2.1, add: `<ask>Which test framework would you like to use? [playwright/cypress/auto]</ask>`
- Use response to set framework choice
- Remove `test_framework: ""` placeholder variable
- Severity: CLEANUP
- Impact: Makes workflow properly interactive
6. **Document standalone_mode purpose or remove**
- Variable is not referenced in instructions
- If intended for workflow orchestration, document usage
- If unused, remove
- Severity: CLEANUP
- Impact: Clarifies configuration intent
