Qe Security Visual Testing

Security Visual Testing

<default_to_action> When performing security-aware visual testing: 1. VALIDATE URLs before navigation (check for malicious patterns) 2. SCAN for PII before saving screenshots (mask sensitive data) 3. CAPTURE parallel viewports (mobile, tablet, desktop) 4. COMPARE against baselines (detect visual regressions) 5. AUDIT accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA compliance)

Quick Security-Visual Checklist:

• URL validation (no javascript:, data:, file: schemes)
• PII detection (emails, phones, SSN, credit cards, API keys)
• Visual regression (diff threshold < 0.1%)
• Viewport coverage (320px, 768px, 1024px, 1440px)
• Accessibility score (> 90% axe-core pass rate)

Critical Success Factors:

• Always mask PII before storing screenshots
• Test across all target viewports in parallel
• Store baselines in version control
• Run accessibility audits on every visual change

Workflows

1. Security Visual Audit (Full Pipeline)

# Run complete security + visual audit
aqe test visual-audit --url https://example.com --security --accessibility

Steps: 1. Validate URL security (block malicious schemes) 2. Scan page for security issues (XSS, injection patterns) 3. Capture screenshots across 4 viewports in parallel 4. Compare against stored baselines 5. Run accessibility audit (axe-core) 6. Generate consolidated report

2. PII-Safe Screenshot

# Capture screenshot with automatic PII masking
aqe screenshot --url https://example.com/profile --pii-safe

PII Detection Patterns:

• Email addresses: user@example.com
• Phone numbers: +1-555-123-4567
• Credit cards: 4111-1111-1111-1111
• SSN: 123-45-6789
• API keys: sk_live_..., AKIA...
• Passwords: Form fields with type="password"

Masking Strategy:

• Default: Blur with high intensity
• Options: redact (black box), pixelate, blur

3. Responsive Visual Audit

# Test visual consistency across viewports
aqe test responsive --url https://example.com --viewports mobile,tablet,desktop

Default Viewports:

Integration with AQE v3

Using with BrowserSecurityScanner

import { BrowserSecurityScanner } from '@agentic-qe/v3';

const scanner = new BrowserSecurityScanner(memory, {
  urlValidation: { enabled: true },
  piiDetection: { enabled: true, maskBeforeSave: true },
  parallelViewports: { maxConcurrent: 4 }
});

const result = await scanner.scanUrl('https://example.com', {
  viewports: ['mobile', 'tablet', 'desktop'],
  accessibility: true
});

Using with TrajectoryAdapter

import { TrajectoryAdapter } from '@agentic-qe/v3';

const adapter = new TrajectoryAdapter(memory);

// Record testing trajectory for learning
await adapter.startTrajectory('security-visual-test', {
  url: 'https://example.com',
  testType: 'security-visual'
});

// ... perform tests ...

await adapter.endTrajectory(trajectoryId, {
  success: true,
  piiFound: 3,
  visualRegressions: 0,
  accessibilityScore: 95
});
