Failure taxonomy and allowed/forbidden repairs for a failing E2E test. Use when a Playwright/Maestro/Detox/XCUITest/Espresso/Appium test fails and you must decide whether to repair the test or route to a real bug.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Quality Engineering: Test Healing

## **Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)**

## Failure Classes

`SELECTOR_DRIFT` (id/locator changed) · `TIMING_SYNC` (race/wait, no state change) · `DATA_ENV` (fixture/seed/env stale) · `INFRA` (network/runner/flake) · `REAL_REGRESSION` (product behavior actually changed).

Classify from evidence: trace/screenshot/DOM diff supports a drift/timing/data explanation, or the product diff shows an intentional behavior change (REAL_REGRESSION).

## Allowed Repairs

Move the locator up the selector ladder (e.g., `getByRole` if the ID changed); replace a sleep with an explicit state wait; fix a stale fixture/seed; retry only for `INFRA`.

## Forbidden Repairs

Never weaken an assertion. Never add `test.skip`/`fixme`; a test that must stop gating goes to quarantine per `quality-engineering-flaky-triage` with a ticket + expiry, and keeps running. Never widen a matcher. Never inflate a timeout by more than 2x. Never blind `--update-snapshots`. Never catch-and-continue. Never touch production code — that is `REAL_REGRESSION`, not a heal.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add hoangnguyen0403/agent-skills-standard/quality-engineering-test-healing@sha256:fb96729f75a4719b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260913.6db6862, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
