QA

Use this workflow for verification and test quality work.

1. Determine the QA Task

Classify the request as one of:

• Feature verification
• Bug report
• Test creation
• Test improvement
• Exploratory testing
• Coverage review

2. Gather Context

Read:

1. TESTING.md if present
2. Root AGENTS.md
3. Relevant scoped AGENTS.md
4. Feature brief, bug report, or changed code in scope
5. Existing tests for the target area

3. Execute the Task

Feature Verification

• Map acceptance criteria to observable behavior
• Check happy path, edge cases, and error paths
• Record pass, fail, or partial status with evidence

Bug Report

• Reproduce the issue
• Capture logs, errors, and minimal repro
• Write a structured report with expected vs actual behavior

Test Creation or Improvement

• Identify coverage gaps
• Write or improve tests using the project's existing patterns
• Prefer deterministic tests and narrow scope first

Exploratory Testing

• Identify risky or recently changed areas
• Explore happy path, invalid input, state transitions, and regressions
• Record issues with severity and reproduction steps

Coverage Review

• Review current coverage signals
• Identify important untested logic
• Recommend the next highest-value tests

4. Apply the Quality Gate

Check:

• Existing tests still pass
• New tests are deterministic
• Acceptance criteria are covered where relevant
• Bug reports include evidence and reproduction steps

5. Report

Summarize:

• What was tested
• Issues found
• Tests added or improved
• Coverage impact if relevant
• Recommended next steps

Integration

• Companion skills: test-strategy, run-tests, test-local
• Common follow-up: bugfix, feature-dev, pre-commit
