Summary

Improve the quality, scalability, and reliability of AIPCC AE Generic QE automation within the Wheels test repository by standardizing frameworks, reducing test flakiness, improving coverage, and enabling faster, more maintainable test execution.

Description

The AIPCC AE Generic QE automation suite in the Wheels test repository requires enhancements to better support growing product complexity, CI/CD reliability, and QE efficiency. This initiative focuses on improving automation architecture, test stability, execution speed, and developer/QE experience while ensuring alignment with AIPCC quality standards.

The work under this initiative will modernize existing automation, address technical debt, and establish best practices to ensure long-term maintainability and scalability of QE automation.

Objectives

• Improve stability and reduce flaky tests in the Wheels automation suite

• Standardize automation patterns and frameworks across AIPCC AE Generic tests

• Increase test coverage for critical AE workflows

• Reduce execution time in CI pipelines

• Improve readability, maintainability, and reusability of test code

• Enable faster feedback for developers and QE teams

In Scope

• Refactoring and cleanup of existing QE automation code

• Enhancements to test framework utilities and helpers

• Improvements to test data management and environment handling

• Stabilization of CI execution (timeouts, retries, parallelization)

• Better logging, reporting, and failure diagnostics

• Documentation and guidelines for contributing to Wheels QE automation
