🔄 Migration Guide

For Existing Users (v1.0.5 → v1.1.0)

Good news: All Phase 2 features are opt-in and fully backward compatible!

1. Install the update

npm install agentic-qe@1.1.0

2. Initialize Phase 2 features (optional)

aqe init --topology hierarchical --max-agents 10

This will:

• Initialize learning databases
• Set up pattern bank
• Configure improvement loop
• Create agent definitions

3. Enable learning for agents (optional)

// In your agent configuration
{
  enableLearning: true,  // Enable learning
  enablePatterns: true,  // Enable pattern reuse
  learningRate: 0.1      // Default learning rate
}

4. Start using new features

# Check learning status
aqe learn status

# Extract patterns from existing tests
aqe patterns extract --path ./tests

# Analyze for flaky tests
aqe agent execute --name qe-flaky-test-hunter --task "Analyze test suite"

# Run improvement cycle
aqe improve cycle

If You're Not Ready for Phase 2

No action needed! All Phase 2 features are disabled by default. Your existing workflows continue to work exactly as before.

---

🎯 Known Limitations

• Learning system: Requires 30+ days for optimal performance improvements
• Pattern extraction: Accuracy varies by code complexity (85%+ average)
• ML flaky detection: Requires historical test data for best results
• A/B testing: Requires sufficient sample size for statistical significance
