Quality Assurance Standards

Priority: P1 (HIGH)

1. Test Case Granularity

• 1 Test Case = 1 Condition on 1 Screen.
• Split Screens: "Order Details" & "Item Details" separate.
• Split Conditions: "Config " & "Config B" separate.
• No "OR" Logic: Each TC must test single, distinct path.

2. Naming Convention

• Pattern: Platform_Module_Action on Screen when Condition (e.g., Web_Order_Verify... or Mobile_Order_Verify...)
• Rule: Only include Web_ or Mobile_ prefix if requirement exclusive to one platform. Omit prefix if it supports Both.
• Example: Order_Verify payment term on Item Details when Toggle is OFF (Supports Both)

3. Priority Levels

Use priority rationale to justify each classification:

• High: Critical path, blocker bug.
• Normal: Standard validation, edge case.
• Low: Cosmetic, minor improvement.

4. References

• Detailed Examples

Anti-Patterns

• No Broad TCs: "Verify order flow works" — too broad; every TC must cover exactly 1 condition on 1 screen
• No Shared TCs (Divergent): Testing Web and Mobile behavior in single TC when behavior diverges — split into separate TCs per platform
• No Incomplete Naming: Order_Verify page — name must follow full pattern: Module_Action on Screen when Condition
• No Priority Inflation: Marking cosmetic spacing bug as High priority — reserve High for critical path blockers only

Review wording

• Call out naming violations explicitly when a test case breaks the naming convention, then split it into separate TCs with one condition on one screen.

Canonical response anchors

When this skill applies, preserve the following domain terminology or equivalent concrete examples in the answer when relevant:

• naming violations
• 1 Test Case = 1 Condition
• High: Critical path
• Low: Cosmetic
• Module_Action on Screen when Condition
• No "OR" Logic
• Split into separate TCs
• priority rationale
