Design CI/CD pipelines that run test suites. Covers GitHub Actions and GitLab CI templates, parallelism and sharding, artifact management, flaky-test quarantine
Overview
Design CI/CD pipelines that run test suites. Covers GitHub Actions and GitLab CI templates, parallelism and sharding, artifact management, flaky-test quarantine, test-result publishing, coverage quality gates, OIDC keyless deploy, and copy-paste workflows for Playwright, Jest, and multi-stage pipelines. Use when: "CI/CD," "GitHub Actions," "pipeline," "test in CI," "GitLab CI," "continuous integration," "test automation pipeline," "shard tests in CI." Not for: per-test flaky healing at runtime — use test-reliability; go/no-go release decisions and smoke-test checklists — use release-readiness; test-result dashboards and trend reporting — use qa-metrics. Related: playwright-automation, qa-metrics, test-reliability, coverage-analysis, release-readiness.

A 20-minute serial suite on every push destroys developer velocity; a green pipeline that retries flaky tests three times hides the race condition until it ships. This skill produces CI/CD pipelines that run the right tests at the right trigger, shard them across runners, store traces and reports as evidence, quarantine flaky tests instead of masking them, and gate merges on real coverage numbers. Use this skill when the question is about running tests in a pipeline, not writing them.
Discovery Questions
Check .agents/qa-project-context.md first — if it exists, use it and skip anything already answered there (especially team_maturity and existing CI conventions). Then:
- Which CI platform? GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Jenkins? This skill ships templates for GitHub Actions and GitLab CI.
- What test types need to run? Unit, integration, E2E, visual, performance? Each has different resource and timing needs.
- What is the current CI duration? Over 10 minutes means parallelism and sharding are mandatory, not optional.
- How many developers push per day? High-frequency teams need aggressive concurrency cancellation and caching.
- What triggers should run which tests? Not every push needs a full E2E suite — map triggers to suites before writing YAML.
Calibrate to team maturity
Set team_maturity in .agents/qa-project-context.md; pick the matching pipeline shape:
- startup — one job: lint + unit + one E2E smoke on PR. Fast feedback over completeness.
- growing — separate jobs for unit, integration, E2E. Parallelization, artifact uploads, result publishing, flaky quarantine.
- established — full matrix: sharded E2E, multi-environment promotion gates, perf and security scans, deploy-gated checks, SLA-backed pipelines.
Core Principles
- Fast feedback: right tests at the right time. Unit tests on every push (under 2 min). E2E on PRs (under 10 min). Full suite on merge and nightly. The trigger-to-suite map below is the contract.
- Parallel first: shard tests across workers. A 20-minute serial suite becomes 5 minutes across 4 shards. Always worth the runner cost.
- Artifacts are evidence. Every run stores traces, screenshots, coverage, and HTML reports. Without artifacts, a CI failure is an undebuggable "reproduce locally" cycle.
- Flaky tests need quarantine, not retries. Retrying hides the problem — the test passes on retry, the report is green, the race condition persists. Move flaky tests to a non-blocking job, track them, fix the root cause.
- Quality gates get stricter toward production. Define what must pass at each stage; PR gate is fast and cheap, deploy gate is comprehensive.
- Read thresholds from config, not from bash. Let the test runner enforce coverage via its own
coverageThreshold/thresholdsand exit non-zero. Scraping percentages out of stdout with regex is fragile across runner versions.
Pipeline Architecture
Push to branch: lint+types (30s) → unit (1-2m)
PR opened: + integration (2-3m) → E2E sharded (5-8m) → merge report
Merge to main: full E2E ∥ visual ∥ perf budget → deploy (OIDC)
Nightly (cron): full suite + npm audit + axe a11y + flaky quarantine
What runs when
| Trigger | Tests | Max duration |
|---|---|---|
| Push to branch | lint, type-check, unit | 2 min |
| PR opened/updated | + integration, E2E smoke | 10 min |
| Merge to main | + full E2E, visual, perf budget | 15 min |
| Nightly schedule | full suite, security, a11y, flaky quarantine | 30 min |
| Release tag | full suite, smoke against staging | 20 min |
GitHub Actions
For complete copy-paste workflow files (unit, sharded Playwright E2E, full pipeline, nightly, PR gate), see references/github-actions-templates.md.
Action versions (June 2026)
Pin to the current major and let Dependabot bump them. The actions/* family runs on the Node 24 runner; Node 20 is deprecated on GH-hosted runners.
| Action | Current major | Notes |
|---|---|---|
actions/checkout | @v6 | |
actions/setup-node | @v6 | v5+ auto-caches only when packageManager is set; use cache: npm to be explicit |
actions/cache | @v5 | new cache service v2 backend |
actions/upload-artifact | @v7 | v7 can upload unzipped (archive: false) |
actions/download-artifact | @v7 | pair with upload-artifact major |
dorny/test-reporter | @v3 | v3 requires Node 24 runner; reporter keys unchanged |
dorny/paths-filter | @v3 | |
marocchino/sticky-pull-request-comment | @v3 | |
slackapi/slack-github-action | @v2 | floating major; see notification note before adopting v3 |
For supply-chain-sensitive pipelines, pin third-party actions (dorny, marocchino, slackapi, knapsack) to a full-length commit SHA with a version comment, and let Dependabot update the SHA: uses: dorny/test-reporter@<40-char-sha> # v3.0.0. First-party actions/* are lower risk; tags are acceptable there.
Key concepts
Concurrency groups cancel wasted runs when a branch gets multiple pushes:
concurrency:
group: tests-${{ github.ref }}
cancel-in-progress: true
Matrix sharding across runners:
strategy:
fail-fast: false
matrix:
shard: [1, 2, 3, 4]
steps:
- run: npx playwright test --shard=${{ matrix.shard }}/4
Caching browsers so they aren't re-downloaded every run:
- uses: actions/setup-node@v6
with: { node-version: 22, cache: npm }
- name: Cache Playwright browsers
id: playwright-cache
uses: actions/cache@v5
with:
path: ~/.cache/ms-playwright
key: playwright-${{ runner.os }}-${{ hashFiles('package-lock.json') }}
- name: Install Playwright browsers
if: steps.playwright-cache.outputs.cache-hit != 'true'
run: npx playwright install --with-deps chromium
Artifacts for reports and traces, and merging sharded reports into one HTML report — see references/github-actions-templates.md (E2E workflow). The merge job uses actions/download-artifact@v7 with pattern: test-results-* then npx playwright merge-reports --reporter=html.
Smarter sharding at scale
Past 10–15 shards, naïve hash-based splitting wastes runner time on uneven shards. Use a timing-aware balancer:
knapsack-pro— timing-data based, supports Playwright/Jest/Cypress/RSpec; distributes by historical duration.- CloudBees Smart Tests (formerly Launchable) — ML prioritization + Test Impact Analysis; runs only the tests likely to fail for the diff.
- Datadog Test Optimization — TIA + flake management; shard-balancing by historical time.
- Trunk Flaky Tests — flake-aware quarantine + retry budgeting.
Before reaching for a paid balancer: Playwright's --shard already distributes by file and balances on duration from prior runs. To inspect or feed custom timing data, dump it yourself — npx playwright test --reporter=json | jq '[.suites[].specs[] | {file: .file, duration: .tests[].results[].duration}]'. For Jest, jest-slow-test-reporter surfaces the slowest specs so you can split or fix them.
For self-hosted runners on Kubernetes, use Actions Runner Controller (arc-runner-set / gha-runner-scale-set) — Helm-installed, auto-scales runner pods per workflow. Replaces the deprecated runner-deployment CRD.
Required status checks
Protect main in Settings → Branches → Branch protection rules: enable "Require status checks to pass before merging," add lint, unit-tests, and e2e (all shards) as required checks, and enable "Require branches to be up to date."
GitLab CI
For the full pipeline, see references/gitlab-ci-template.md. Key points:
- Stages
[validate, test, e2e, deploy];node:22-alpinefor lint/unit,mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.60.0-noblefor E2E (keep this pinned to your installed@playwright/testminor). - Parallel sharding:
parallel: 4exposesCI_NODE_INDEX/CI_NODE_TOTAL; runnpx playwright test --shard=$CI_NODE_INDEX/$CI_NODE_TOTAL. - Coverage: emit a cobertura
coverage_reportartifact and ajunitreport; GitLab reads the percentage and test results from those. The legacycoverage:stdout regex is a fragile fallback across Jest versions — prefer the cobertura report.
Advanced Patterns
Test result publishing to PR comments
- name: Publish test results
uses: dorny/test-reporter@v3
if: ${{ !cancelled() }}
with:
name: Test Results
path: test-results/junit.xml
reporter: jest-junit # use java-junit for a Playwright JUnit report
For the sticky coverage PR comment (marocchino/sticky-pull-request-comment@v3), see references/github-actions-templates.md (PR Quality Gate).
Conditional test execution
Only test what changed. Use dorny/paths-filter@v3 to set outputs, then gate steps on them — see references/github-actions-templates.md (Conditional execution).
Flaky test quarantine
Separate flaky tests into a non-blocking job so they run in CI but don't block merges:
e2e-stable: # required for merge
steps:
- run: npx playwright test --grep-invert @flaky
e2e-quarantine: # non-blocking
continue-on-error: true
steps:
- run: npx playwright test --grep @flaky
- if: failure()
run: echo "::warning::Quarantined tests failed. Review and fix or remove."
Tag flaky tests at the source so the grep splits them:
test('sometimes fails due to race condition @flaky', async ({ page }) => {
// runs in CI but doesn't block merges
});
If a quarantined test passes 10 consecutive runs, remove the @flaky tag. For runtime self-healing of a single flaky test (selector recovery, auto-retry policy), use test-reliability.
Cache strategies
| Layer | Path | Cache key |
|---|---|---|
| Node modules | (handled by setup-node cache: npm) | automatic |
| Playwright browsers | ~/.cache/ms-playwright | pw-{os}-{hash(package-lock.json)} |
| Build cache (Next.js) | .next/cache | nextjs-{os}-{hash(lockfile)}-{hash(src)} |
| Test fixtures | e2e/fixtures/.cache | test-data-{hash(seed.sql)} |
Use actions/cache@v5 for layers 2–4; add restore-keys on build caches for partial matches.
OIDC keyless deploy
Don't store a long-lived DEPLOY_TOKEN. Use GitHub Actions OIDC to assume a cloud role for short-lived credentials — nothing static to leak or rotate:
deploy:
permissions:
id-token: write # request the OIDC JWT
contents: read
steps:
- uses: aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials@v6
with:
role-to-assume: arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/gha-deploy
aws-region: eu-central-1
- run: ./deploy.sh production # uses short-lived STS creds, no static secret
The IAM role's trust policy pins the sub claim to your repo and branch. GCP (google-github-actions/auth) and Azure (azure/login) have equivalent OIDC flows.

### Action versions (June 2026)
Pin to the current major and let Dependabot bump them. The `actions/*` family runs on the Node 24 runner; Node 20 is deprecated on GH-hosted runners.
| Action | Current major | Notes |
|--------|---------------|-------|

| `actions/setup-node` | `@v6` | v5+ auto-caches only when `packageManager` is set; use `cache: npm` to be explicit |
| `actions/cache` | `@v5` | new cache service v2 backend |
| `actions/upload-artifact` | `@v7` | v7 can upload unzipped (`archive: false`) |
| `actions/download-artifact` | `@v7` | pair with upload-artifact major |
| `dorny/test-reporter` | `@v3` | v3 requires Node 24 runner; reporter keys unchanged |
| `dorny/paths-filter` | `@v3` | |
| `marocchino/sticky-pull-request-comment` | `@v3` | |
| `slackapi/slack-github-action` | `@v2` | floating major; see notification note before adopting v3 |
For supply-chain-sensitive pipelines, pin third-party actions (dorny, marocchino, slackapi, knapsack) to a full-length commit SHA with a version comment, and let Dependabot update the SHA: `uses: dorny/test-reporter@<40-char-sha> # v3.0.0`.

Skill purpose: Design CI/CD pipelines that run test suites. Covers GitHub Actions and GitLab CI templates, parallelism and sharding, artifact management, flaky-test quarantine, test-result publishing, coverage quality gates, OIDC keyless deploy, and copy-paste workflows for Playwright, Jest, and multi-stage pipelines. Use when: \"CI/CD,\" \"GitHub Actions,\" \"pipeline,\" \"test in CI,\" \"GitLab CI,\" \"continuous integration,\" \"test automation pipeline,\" \"shard tests in CI.\" Not for: per-test flaky healing at runtime — use test-reliability; go/no-go release decisions and smoke-test checklists — use release-readiness; test-result dashboards and trend reporting — use qa-metrics.
