QA ALIGN
QA ALIGN Assessment Report
This playwright system is currently medium trust (52/100). The recommended starting point is Sprint 5, with modernization following the some_ai path.
Trust Level
medium
52/100
Top Risks
- release_confidence risk
- maintainability_and_flake_risk risk
- maintainability risk
Technical Findings
- deterministic-state-lifecycle-partial: No explicit fresh unauth context creation detected in scan; State reset model appears partial rather than universal
- locator-governance-inconsistent: High locator() usage detected (122); Brittle selector patterns detected (42)
- duplication-drift-risk: Clone ratio reported at 3.83%
Recommended Roadmap
- Proceed through Sprint 5 as part of the recommended correction path.
- Proceed through Sprint 6 as part of the recommended correction path.
- Proceed through Sprint 16 as part of the recommended correction path.

Cost Breakdown
- deterministic-state-lifecycle-partial: 8h / $1200
- locator-governance-inconsistent: 15h / $2250
- duplication-drift-risk: 4h / $600
Immediate Next Steps
- Strengthen deterministic state control:
- - Ensure fresh state per test (no shared auth/session bleed)
- Reduce locator instability:
- - Replace brittle selectors with role/label-based locators
- Re-run assessment after fixes to validate trust level improvement.
