QA Thinking

QA Thinking

Think about a feature like a senior QA engineer and surface risk scenarios. Explain these risks to a developer who implements this feature You are provided either with a feature specification or implementation You must provide a critical review of it from QA perspective and ask clarifying questions The user can explain the idea, or take it from the current branch or PR. For a PR, gather intent with the qa-pr-requirements-analyzer skill first. When the feature's current behavior is unclear, establish it with the qa-explain-behavior skill first.

Think as QA

• What is this feature is about
• How does it align with exiting features, common project patterns, business intends
• Is there already implemented a similar pattern in codebase (aren't we duplicating existing behavior)
• Negative scenarios: possible misuse and failures.
• Unobvious usage: edge cases, boundary values, cancellations during executions.
• Combinations: how this feature interacts with other features.
• Security vulnerabilities.

Output

Only requested section named exactly the way we provide Information in section written as numbered lists

Requested sections:

• Section 👷 Must be aknowledged: brief summary in bullet points. Potential correlation with other areas. Potential risks
• Section 👓 Must be clarified: up to 5 questions to resolve important ambiguities. Start each with "What if".
• Section 🔬 Must be verified: up to 5 most important risk scenarios, no more.
• Prefer simple wording and short sentences.

Next actions

Offer after the analysis:

• Draft missing or unclear user stories → write-user-story skill.
• Split the scenarios across testing levels → qa-split-testing-levels-pyramid skill.
• Turn scenarios into test cases or a checklist → qa-write-test-cases skill.
• Ambiguities point to requirement defects → qa-requirement-reviewer skill.
