Test Execution

Skill: Test Execution

Activation: #file:_superml/skills/6-quality/test-execution/SKILL.md

Purpose

Execute the test plan systematically, record results for every test case, capture evidence, and produce a test execution report. Identify and log all defects found during execution.

Inputs

Load before starting:

• Test plan: {output_path}/qa/test-plan.md
• Implementation context (source, PR links, build number)

Deliverable

{output_path}/qa/test-execution.md

Test Execution Report Structure

# Test Execution Report — {project_name}

## Summary
| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Total test cases | N |
| Passed | N |
| Failed | N |
| Blocked | N |
| Not executed | N |
| Pass rate | % |

## Execution Details

| TC-ID | Description | Status | Notes / Evidence | Defect Ref |
|-------|-------------|--------|-----------------|-----------|
| TC-001 | ... | PASS | ... | — |
| TC-002 | ... | FAIL | Steps 3–4 fail on Firefox | BUG-001 |

## Defects Raised

| Bug-ID | TC-ID | Summary | Severity | Status |
|--------|-------|---------|----------|--------|
| BUG-001 | TC-002 | ... | P2 | Open |

## Environment & Build
- Environment: ...
- Build / version: ...
- Date: {date}
- Executed by: {qa_name}

## Blockers & Notes
- ...

During Execution

• Execute test cases in priority order (P1 first).
• For each failure: document exact steps that failed, actual vs expected result, and link to evidence (screenshot, log snippet).
• Log each defect immediately in the bug triage log.
• Mark test cases as Blocked only if a prerequisite failure prevents execution.

Validation Checklist

• All P1 test cases executed
• All P2 test cases executed (or explicitly deferred with reason)
• Every failure has a linked defect in the bug log
• Summary statistics are accurate
• Report includes environment and build information

Next Skill

If defects found → run Bug Triage (#file:_superml/skills/6-quality/bug-triage/SKILL.md)
When all P1/P2 defects resolved → run QA Sign-off (#file:_superml/skills/6-quality/qa-signoff/SKILL.md)
