Integration QA Lab

integration-qa-lab

Make external integrations testable without unsafe live actions.

Procedure

1. Read the Integration QA Lab ADR/docs and the provider-specific docs.
2. Capture or update the official provider surface snapshot with source URL, version, and date.
3. Define or verify the governed connector context schema before closing the integration: accounts, workspaces, apps, products, environments, signing identities, defaults, fallbacks, required fields, and secret_ref bindings.
4. Maintain a coverage matrix classifying each capability as implemented, fixture-only, blocked, not applicable, cost-risk, auth-required, host-required, or destructive.
5. Add hermetic fixtures and dry-run/interceptor paths before live tests.
6. Keep live lanes opt-in, brokered, credential-safe, and explicit about cost/destructive risk.
7. Run or document the provider context doctor/explain checks for required operations, including approval and audit expectations.
8. Report unavailable physical/provider prerequisites as EXTERNAL PENDING.

Constraints

• UI wiring alone does not complete an integration.
• Provider operations that need account, app, product, signing, environment, or API-key context are incomplete until that context is governed and fails closed when missing or blocked.
• Do not forward secrets to candidate packages until the package under test is the intended artifact.
• Do not call real providers, mutate data, or spend money without explicit approval.
