Question 1

What is a testing workflow with the MCP server?

Accepted Answer

A testing workflow defines when and how tests run during development. Common workflows include: test-on-save (run tests when code changes), pre-commit testing (validate before commits), and feature-branch testing (comprehensive tests before merging). MCP integrates into your existing development rhythm.

Question 2

How do I integrate MCP testing into my development process?

Accepted Answer

Start by testing critical paths during feature development. Run quick smoke tests on every code change and comprehensive tests before commits or PRs. Use MCP chat to trigger tests naturally as you code, making testing feel seamless rather than disruptive.

Question 3

Can I automate MCP workflows with scripts?

Accepted Answer

While MCP is designed for interactive AI-driven testing, you can trigger tests programmatically using Desplega's API. For automated workflows, consider using Desplega's CI/CD integrations alongside MCP for development-time testing.

Question 4

How do I handle flaky tests in my MCP workflow?

Accepted Answer

Desplega automatically identifies flaky tests. Review flakiness scores in the dashboard and fix underlying issues. For intermittent failures, add explicit waits or adjust test descriptions to handle timing better. Promote only stable tests to production workflows.

Question 5

What is the ideal test coverage workflow?

Accepted Answer

Start with critical user paths (authentication, checkout, key features). Gradually expand to edge cases and error scenarios. Use discovery runs quarterly to identify gaps. Aim for 70-80% coverage of user journeys—focus on value, not hitting 100%.
