QA ALIGN
QA ALIGN Assessment Report
This playwright system is currently high trust (71/100). The recommended starting point is Sprint 6, with modernization following the ai_forward path.
Top Risks
- brittle-locator-strategy risk
- release-confidence-gap risk
- artifact-contract-adoption-partial risk
Technical Findings
- Locator strategy not fully governed: Accessibility-first approach exists but not enforced across all tests.
- Release confidence remains below GO threshold: The system is operationally mature enough for WARN, but locator governance still prevents a GO decision.
- Artifact contract rollout remains partial: The artifact chain exists, but full rollout across every workflow remains a scale-hardening task.
- Owner routing still needs full CI adoption: Autonomous owner routing exists, but every CI path must call it before the system can claim a GO signal.
Recommended Roadmap
- Proceed through Sprint 6 as part of the recommended correction path.
- Proceed through Sprint 16 as part of the recommended correction path.
- Proceed through Sprint 17 as part of the recommended correction path.
