QE Features¶

SuperQode provides comprehensive quality engineering features for AI-assisted code analysis and testing.

Feature Overview¶

SuperQode OSS ships the core agentic scan + QR workflow. Enterprise adds automated fixes, verified patches, test generation, CI-grade outputs, and curated prompt packs. Contact us for access.

Artifacts & Reports

QRs, patches, generated tests, and other outputs from QE sessions.

Artifacts
Test Generation (Enterprise)

Automatic generation of regression tests for detected issues.

Test Generation
Noise Filtering

Configure thresholds to reduce false positives and focus on important findings.

Noise Filtering
Natural Language QE (Enterprise)

Describe testing needs in plain English - automatic role and scope selection.

Natural Language QE
Constitution System

Define quality principles, rules, and guardrails for your project.

Constitution
Fix Verifier (Enterprise)

Automatically verify suggested fixes work before presenting them.

QE Session Lifecycle¶

Every QE session follows this lifecycle:

Core Features¶

Quality Reports (QRs)¶

Research-grade forensic artifacts that document the complete investigation process:

Investigation summary and methodology
All findings with evidence
Root cause analysis
Suggested fixes with validation
Production readiness verdict

Learn more about QRs

Ephemeral Workspace¶

Safe, isolated testing environment:

Original code is always preserved
Agents can test destructively
Automatic revert after session
Artifacts preserved for review

Learn more about Ephemeral Workspace

Allow Suggestions Mode¶

Demonstrated fixes in a sandbox:

Agent creates fix in sandbox
Runs tests to verify fix works
Proves improvement with evidence
Reverts all changes
User decides to apply or reject

QE Modes¶

Quick Scan¶

Fast, time-boxed analysis for development feedback:

superqe run . --mode quick

Duration: ~60 seconds
Use case: Pre-commit, developer feedback
Depth: Shallow analysis
Test generation: Disabled

Deep QE¶

Comprehensive quality investigation:

superqe run . --mode deep

Duration: ~30 minutes
Use case: Pre-release, nightly CI
Depth: Full analysis
Test generation: Available

QE Roles¶

Execution Roles¶

Run existing tests deterministically:

Role	Purpose
`smoke_tester`	Fast critical path validation
`sanity_tester`	Core functionality verification
`regression_tester`	Full test suite execution
`lint_tester`	Fast static linting across languages

Detection Roles¶

AI-powered issue discovery:

Role	Focus
`security_tester`	OWASP Top 10, injection, auth
`api_tester`	API contracts, validation
`unit_tester`	Coverage gaps, edge cases
