Test Improvement¶

Add focused tests for under-tested code and clean up redundant tests.

How it works¶

Identifies code paths with no or minimal test coverage, adds focused tests that validate real behavior, and removes or consolidates clearly redundant tests. Only opens a PR for changes that would catch actual regressions — not trivial getters or incidental coverage. Most runs end with noop.

Quick Install¶

mkdir -p .github/workflows && curl -sL \
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elastic/ai-github-actions/v0/gh-agent-workflows/test-improvement/example.yml \
  -o .github/workflows/test-improvement.yml

Trigger¶

Event	Schedule
`schedule`	Weekly
`workflow_dispatch`	Manual

Inputs¶

Input	Description	Required	Default
`additional-instructions`	Repo-specific instructions appended to the agent prompt	No	`""`
`setup-commands`	Shell commands run before the agent starts	No	`""`
`allowed-bot-users`	Allowlisted bot actor usernames (comma-separated)	No	`github-actions[bot]`
