Test Plan

Skill: Test Plan

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

Purpose

Create a comprehensive test plan that maps every acceptance criterion in the epics to at least one test case, identifies risk areas, and defines the test strategy and scope.

Inputs

Load before starting:

• Epic/story backlog: {output_path}/planning/epics.md or equivalent
• Architecture doc: {output_path}/planning/architecture.md (for system boundaries)
• PRD: {output_path}/planning/prd.md (for functional scope)
• Any existing test strategy in _superml/reference/qa/

Deliverable

{output_path}/qa/test-plan.md

Test Plan Structure

Generate the test plan with these sections:

# Test Plan — {project_name}

## 1. Scope & Objectives
- What is in scope for this test cycle
- What is explicitly out of scope
- Quality objectives and exit criteria

## 2. Test Strategy
- Testing levels: unit / integration / system / UAT
- Test types: functional, regression, exploratory, performance (if applicable)
- Test environment(s) and data requirements

## 3. Test Cases

### {Epic / Feature Name}
| TC-ID | Story | Description | Test Steps | Expected Result | Priority |
|-------|-------|-------------|-----------|-----------------|----------|
| TC-001 | US-001 | ... | 1. ... 2. ... | ... | P1 |

## 4. Risk Register
| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
|------|-----------|--------|------------|

## 5. Entry & Exit Criteria
### Entry (before testing starts)
- [ ] Implementation signed off
- [ ] Test environment ready
- [ ] Test data prepared

### Exit (before sign-off)
- [ ] All P1/P2 test cases pass
- [ ] No open P1/P2 bugs
- [ ] Test execution report complete

Validation Checklist

Before saving the test plan:

• Every acceptance criterion maps to at least one test case
• All test cases have a priority (P1/P2/P3)
• Risk areas identified and mitigated
• Entry and exit criteria defined
• Environment and data requirements documented
