library1.15.1jsnpmunverified

TEA (Test Engineering Architect) is a standalone BMAD module for risk-based test strategy, test automation guidance, and release gate decisions. Current stable version is 1.15.1, with bi-weekly releases. It provides a single expert agent (Murat, Master Test Architect) and nine workflows covering test education, framework setup, ATDD, automation, traceability, NFR assessment, CI guidance, and test review. Key differentiators: knowledge-base-driven consistent outputs, risk-based P0-P3 prioritization, optional Playwright Utils/CLI/MCP browser automation, and fully context-window-executed workflow engine without external orchestrator. Requires Node.js >=20.0.0, Python >=3.10, and uv package manager.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

npx bmad-method install

✓ Install via npx and select 'Test Architect' from module menu

✗ npm install -g bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise

This package is not installed directly via npm. Install the 'bmad-method' CLI and select TEA interactively.

Test Architect agent activation

✓ Workflow files in src/agents/bmad-tea/SKILL.md and src/workflows/testarch/

✗ Import from node_modules

TEA is a file-based agent system. There is no JavaScript importable module. Activation happens via BMAD workflow engine.

customize.toml

✓ Edit TEA customization via src/agents/bmad-tea/customize.toml or workflow-specific customize.toml

✗ Edit package.json or tsconfig.json

Customization is done via TOML files, not Node.js configuration files.

Shows how to install TEA via BMAD CLI and verify the agent and workflow files are present.

# Install BMAD CLI npx bmad-method install # Select 'Test Architect' from the module menu # After installation, invoke a TEA workflow from within BMAD context # Example: Teach Me Testing workflow # The agent 'Murat, Master Test Architect' will guide through steps # Verify installation ls src/agents/bmad-tea/ ls src/workflows/testarch/

Debug

Known issues

breakingPackage is not installed via npm install; must use npx bmad-method install and select TEA from menu.

fix

Run: npx bmad-method install, then select 'Test Architect'.

affects: >=1.0.0

breakingRequires Node.js >=20.0.0 and Python >=3.10. Older versions of these runtimes will fail.

fix

Upgrade Node.js to >=20.0.0 and Python to >=3.10. Install uv package manager.

affects: >=1.13.0

breakingTOML customization replaced old customization pattern in v1.11.0. Existing customizations may break.

fix

Migrate customizations to TOML files under src/agents/bmad-tea/customize.toml or workflow-specific customize.toml.

affects: >=1.11.0

deprecatedold-TOML customization system removed in v1.12.3. Use new TOML customization pattern.

fix

Adopt the new TOML customization pattern; see docs at https://bmad-code-org.github.io/bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise/

affects: >=1.12.3

gotchaTEA runs entirely inside LLM context window — no external orchestrator. All steps are sequential and just-in-time. Skipping or reordering steps may produce inconsistent results.

fix

Follow workflow steps strictly in order. Do not skip step files.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe package is not a JavaScript library; it's a set of Markdown/Toml/Python files for AI agent consumption. Do not attempt to import it as a Node module.

fix

Use BMAD CLI to install and activate. No JS imports needed.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Command 'npx bmad-method install' not found

BMAD CLI not installed globally or npx cache issue.

fix

Run: npx bmad-method install (requires Node.js >=20). If persists, clear npx cache: npx clear-cache.

Module 'Test Architect' not displayed in installation menu

Outdated BMAD CLI version or network issue fetching module list.

fix

Update BMAD CLI: npx bmad-method update. Ensure internet access.

Python version must be >=3.10

System Python version is too old.

fix

Install Python 3.10+ via pyenv or system package manager. Set python3 as default.

fix

Re-run the workflow from the beginning. Do not skip any step files. Ensure each step completes before proceeding.
