Dogfood: Systematic Web Application QA Testing
概述
本技能指导您使用浏览器工具集对 Web 应用进行系统性的探索性 QA 测试。您将导航应用、与元素交互、捕获问题证据并生成结构化的 Bug 报告。
前置条件
- Browser toolset must be available (
browser_navigate,browser_snapshot,browser_click,browser_type,browser_vision,browser_console,browser_scroll,browser_back,browser_press) - A target URL and testing scope from the user
Inputs
The user provides:
- Target URL — the entry point for testing
- Scope — what areas/features to focus on (or “full site” for comprehensive testing)
- Output directory (optional) — where to save screenshots and the report (default:
./dogfood-output)
工作流程
Follow this 5-phase systematic workflow:
Phase 1: Plan
- Create the output directory structure:
{output_dir}/
├── screenshots/ # Evidence screenshots
└── report.md # Final report (generated in Phase 5)
- Identify the testing scope based on user input.
- Build a rough sitemap by planning which pages and features to test:
- Landing/home page
- Navigation links (header, footer, sidebar)
- Key user flows (sign up, login, search, checkout, etc.)
- Forms and interactive elements
- Edge cases (empty states, error pages, 404s)
Phase 2: Explore
For each page or feature in your plan:
-
Navigate to the page:
browser_navigate(url="https://example.com/page") -
Take a snapshot to understand the DOM structure:
browser_snapshot() -
Check the console for JavaScript errors:
browser_console(clear=true)Do this after every navigation and after every significant interaction. Silent JS errors are high-value findings.
-
Take an annotated screenshot to visually assess the page and identify interactive elements:
browser_vision(question="Describe the page layout, identify any visual issues, broken elements, or accessibility concerns", annotate=true)The
annotate=trueflag overlays numbered[N]labels on interactive elements. Each[N]maps to ref@eNfor subsequent browser commands. -
Test interactive elements systematically:
- Click buttons and links:
browser_click(ref="@eN") - Fill forms:
browser_type(ref="@eN", text="test input") - Test keyboard navigation:
browser_press(key="Tab"),browser_press(key="Enter") - Scroll through content:
browser_scroll(direction="down") - Test form validation with invalid inputs
- Test empty submissions
- Click buttons and links:
-
After each interaction, check for:
- Console errors:
browser_console() - Visual changes:
browser_vision(question="What changed after the interaction?") - Expected vs actual behavior
- Console errors:
Phase 3: Collect Evidence
For every issue found:
-
Take a screenshot showing the issue:
browser_vision(question="Capture and describe the issue visible on this page", annotate=false)Save the
screenshot_pathfrom the response — you will reference it in the report. -
Record the details:
- URL where the issue occurs
- Steps to reproduce
- Expected behavior
- Actual behavior
- Console errors (if any)
- Screenshot path
-
Classify the issue using the issue taxonomy (see
references/issue-taxonomy.md):- Severity: Critical / High / Medium / Low
- Category: Functional / Visual / Accessibility / Console / UX / Content
Phase 4: Categorize
- Review all collected issues.
- De-duplicate — merge issues that are the same bug manifesting in different places.
- Assign final severity and category to each issue.
- Sort by severity (Critical first, then High, Medium, Low).
- Count issues by severity and category for the executive summary.
Phase 5: Report
Generate the final report using the template at templates/dogfood-report-template.md.
The report must include:
- Executive summary with total issue count, breakdown by severity, and testing scope
- Per-issue sections with:
- Issue number and title
- Severity and category badges
- URL where observed
- Description of the issue
- Steps to reproduce
- Expected vs actual behavior
- Screenshot references (use
MEDIA:<screenshot_path>for inline images) - Console errors if relevant
- Summary table of all issues
- Testing notes — what was tested, what was not, any blockers
Save the report to {output_dir}/report.md.
Tools Reference
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
browser_navigate | Go to a URL |
browser_snapshot | Get DOM text snapshot (accessibility tree) |
browser_click | Click an element by ref (@eN) or text |
browser_type | Type into an input field |
browser_scroll | Scroll up/down on the page |
browser_back | Go back in browser history |
browser_press | Press a keyboard key |
browser_vision | Screenshot + AI analysis; use annotate=true for element labels |
browser_console | Get JS console output and errors |
提示
- Always check
browser_console()after navigating and after significant interactions. Silent JS errors are among the most valuable findings. - Use
annotate=truewithbrowser_visionwhen you need to reason about interactive element positions or when the snapshot refs are unclear. - Test with both valid and invalid inputs — form validation bugs are common.
- Scroll through long pages — content below the fold may have rendering issues.
- Test navigation flows — click through multi-step processes end-to-end.
- Check responsive behavior by noting any layout issues visible in screenshots.
- Don’t forget edge cases: empty states, very long text, special characters, rapid clicking.
- When reporting screenshots to the user, include
MEDIA:<screenshot_path>so they can see the evidence inline.
