💻 Usage Examples

Example 1: Single Agent Execution

Ask Claude to use a specific agent:

claude "Use the qe-test-generator agent to create comprehensive tests for src/services/user-service.ts with 95% coverage"

What happens:

1. Claude Code spawns qe-test-generator via Task tool
2. Agent analyzes the source file
3. Generates tests with pattern matching (Phase 2 feature)
4. Stores results in memory at aqe/test-plan/generated

Output:

Generated 42 tests
Pattern hit rate: 67%
Time saved: 2.3s
Quality score: 96%

Example 2: Multi-Agent Parallel Execution

Coordinate multiple agents at once:

claude "Initialize the AQE fleet:
1. Use qe-test-generator to create tests for src/services/*.ts
2. Use qe-test-executor to run all tests in parallel
3. Use qe-coverage-analyzer to find gaps with sublinear algorithms
4. Use qe-quality-gate to validate against 95% threshold"

What happens:

1. Claude spawns 4 agents concurrently in a single message
2. Agents coordinate through aqe/* memory namespace
3. Pipeline: test generator → executor → analyzer → gate
4. Real-time streaming progress updates

Memory namespaces:

• aqe/test-plan/* - Test planning and requirements
• aqe/coverage/* - Coverage analysis results
• aqe/performance/* - Performance test data
• aqe/quality/* - Quality metrics

Example 3: Using Agents with Skills

Agents automatically leverage skills:

claude "Use qe-test-generator with shift-left-testing and test-design-techniques skills to create tests before implementing the new payment feature"

Available skills (agents auto-select from 34):

• TDD, API testing, performance, security
• Accessibility, mobile, chaos engineering
• Regression, shift-left/right, compliance

Example 4: Full Quality Pipeline

End-to-end quality workflow:

claude "Run the full AQE quality pipeline:
1. qe-requirements-validator - validate requirements are testable
2. qe-test-generator - generate comprehensive test suite
3. qe-test-executor - run tests with parallel execution
4. qe-coverage-analyzer - analyze gaps using O(log n) algorithms
5. qe-flaky-test-hunter - detect flaky tests with 100% ML accuracy
6. qe-security-scanner - run SAST/DAST scans
7. qe-performance-tester - load test critical paths
8. qe-quality-gate - validate all quality criteria met
9. qe-deployment-readiness - assess deployment risk"

Example 5: Specialized Testing Scenarios

# API contract validation
claude "Use qe-api-contract-validator to check if the new API changes break any existing contracts"

# Visual regression testing
claude "Use qe-visual-tester to compare screenshots of the updated dashboard against baseline"

# Chaos engineering
claude "Use qe-chaos-engineer to inject random failures and validate system resilience"

# Flaky test detection with ML
claude "Use qe-flaky-test-hunter to analyze the last 100 test runs and identify flaky tests with ML-powered root cause analysis"

# Code complexity analysis
claude "Use qe-code-complexity to analyze src/ directory and get refactoring recommendations for complex code"

Example 6: Fleet Coordination at Scale

# Coordinate 50+ agents for large projects
claude "Use qe-fleet-commander to coordinate parallel testing across 8 microservices with 50 agents total"

MCP Integration Examples

You can also use agents through MCP tools:

# Check MCP connection
claude mcp list

# Direct MCP tool usage (in Claude Code)
# Generate tests
mcp__agentic_qe__test_generate({
  type: "unit",
  framework: "jest",
  targetFile: "src/user-service.ts"
})

# Execute tests
mcp__agentic_qe__test_execute({
  parallel: true,
  coverage: true
})

# Analyze coverage
mcp__agentic_qe__coverage_analyze({
  threshold: 95
})

CLI Direct Usage

# Generate tests
aqe test src/services/user-service.ts

# Analyze coverage
aqe coverage --threshold 95

# Run quality gate
aqe quality

# View fleet status
aqe status --verbose

# Enable multi-model router (70-81% cost savings)
aqe routing enable

# Start learning system
aqe learn enable --all

Advanced Patterns

Pattern 1: Continuous Learning

# Agents learn from execution
claude "Use qe-test-generator with learning enabled to create tests, then analyze improvement over time"

# Check learning metrics
aqe learn status --agent test-generator

Example Output:

📊 LEARNING STATUS

Agent: test-generator
Status: ENABLED ✅
Total Experiences: 247
Exploration Rate: 15.3%

Performance:
├─ Average Reward: 1.23
├─ Success Rate: 87.5%
└─ Improvement Rate: 18.7% (↑ target: 20%)

Top Strategies:
1. property-based (confidence: 92%, success: 95%)
2. mutation-based (confidence: 85%, success: 88%)
3. example-based (confidence: 78%, success: 82%)

Pattern 2: Pattern Bank Usage

# Extract and reuse patterns
claude "Use qe-test-generator to extract test patterns from existing tests, then apply them to new modules"

# List patterns
aqe patterns list --framework jest

Example Output:

📦 PATTERN LIBRARY (247 patterns)

ID         | Name                      | Framework | Quality | Uses
-----------|---------------------------|-----------|---------|-----
pattern-001| Null Parameter Check      | jest      | 92%     | 142
pattern-002| Empty Array Handling      | jest      | 89%     | 98
pattern-003| API Timeout Test          | cypress   | 95%     | 87

Pattern 3: Cost Optimization

# Enable intelligent model routing
aqe routing enable

# View savings
claude "Check routing status and show cost savings"
aqe routing dashboard

Example Output:

✅ Multi-Model Router Status

Cost Summary (Last 30 Days):
  Total Cost: $127.50
  Baseline Cost: $545.00
  Savings: $417.50 (76.6%)
  Budget Status: ON TRACK ✓

Model Usage:
  ├─ gpt-3.5-turbo: 42% (simple tasks)
  ├─ claude-haiku: 31% (medium tasks)
  ├─ claude-sonnet-4.5: 20% (complex tasks)
  └─ gpt-4: 7% (critical tasks)

Pro Tips

1. Batch agent operations: Always spawn multiple agents in one Claude message for parallel execution
2. Use memory namespace: Agents coordinate through aqe/* memory keys
3. Enable learning: Add --enable-learning to agent commands for continuous improvement
4. Check agent status: Use aqe status to see active agents and coordination
5. Review agent output: Agents store detailed results in .agentic-qe/logs/
