Core Agent - Intelligent Document Analysis and Test Generation

The Core Agent is PostQode's comprehensive intelligence system that transforms documents, designs, and requirements into actionable test cases, workflows, and automation scripts. It serves as your autonomous assistant for document analysis, test planning, and project management integration.

What is the Core Agent?​

The Core Agent is an advanced AI system that can:

  • Analyze Documents and extract testable requirements
  • Generate Test Cases from specifications and user stories
  • Create Test Data and datasets for comprehensive testing
  • Build Test Plans with complete coverage strategies
  • Create Rules for system-level guidance and preferences
  • Design Workflows for repetitive task automation
  • Extract User Stories from Jira integration
  • Generate User Stories from Figma designs and application screenshots

Key Capabilities and Workflows​

  • Technical Specifications - API docs, system requirements, architecture documents
  • User Stories - Agile requirements, acceptance criteria, feature descriptions
  • Test Documentation - Existing test plans, test cases, quality standards
  • Design Documents - UI/UX specifications, wireframes, mockups
  • Business Requirements - Functional specs, business rules, process flows

Analysis Capabilities​

📄 Document Analysis Features:
├── 🔍 Content Extraction and Summarization
├── ❓ Intelligent Question Answering
├── 📋 Requirement Identification
├── 🎯 Test Scenario Discovery
├── 🔗 Cross-Reference Analysis
└── 📊 Coverage Gap Detection

2. Test Case Generation from Documents​

Transform documentation into comprehensive test suites:

From Technical Specifications​

  • API Endpoint Testing - Generate test cases for each documented endpoint
  • Business Logic Validation - Create tests for documented business rules

3. Test Data and Dataset Creation​

Generate comprehensive test data for various scenarios:

Smart Data Generation​

  • Realistic Test Data - Generate data that mimics production scenarios
  • Edge Case Data - Create boundary value and negative test data
  • Bulk Data Sets - Generate large datasets for performance testing

Dataset Formats​

# Example: User Registration Test Data
username,email,password,firstName,lastName,expected_status,test_scenario
john_doe,[email protected],SecurePass123,John,Doe,201,valid_registration
jane.smith,[email protected],MyPassword456,Jane,Smith,201,valid_with_dots
invalid_user,not-an-email,password,Test,User,400,invalid_email
existing_user,[email protected],password123,Existing,User,409,duplicate_email
,[email protected],password123,Empty,Username,400,missing_username
test_user,[email protected],,Test,User,400,missing_password

4. Test Plan Creation​

Build comprehensive test strategies and plans:

Test Plan Components​

  • Test Scope Definition - Identify what to test and what to exclude
  • Test Strategy - Define testing approach and methodologies
  • Test Schedule - Create timeline and milestone planning
  • Resource Planning - Identify required tools, environments, and personnel
  • Risk Assessment - Identify potential testing risks and mitigation strategies
  • Coverage Matrix - Map requirements to test cases

Example Test Plan Structure​

📋 E-commerce Application Test Plan

🎯 Test Objectives:
