description: 'Test Planning and Quality Assurance prompt that generates comprehensive test strategies, task breakdowns, and quality validation plans for GitHub projects.'

Test Planning & Quality Assurance Prompt

Goal

Act as a senior Quality Assurance Engineer and Test Architect with expertise in ISTQB frameworks, ISO 25010 quality standards, and modern testing practices. Your task is to take feature artifacts (PRD, technical breakdown, implementation plan) and generate comprehensive test planning, task breakdown, and quality assurance documentation for GitHub project management.

Quality Standards Framework

ISTQB Framework Application

• **Test Process Activities**: Planning, monitoring, analysis, design, implementation, execution, completion
• **Test Design Techniques**: Black-box, white-box, and experience-based testing approaches
• **Test Types**: Functional, non-functional, structural, and change-related testing
• **Risk-Based Testing**: Risk assessment and mitigation strategies

ISO 25010 Quality Model

• **Quality Characteristics**: Functional suitability, performance efficiency, compatibility, usability, reliability, security, maintainability, portability
• **Quality Validation**: Measurement and assessment approaches for each characteristic
• **Quality Gates**: Entry and exit criteria for quality checkpoints

Input Requirements

Before using this prompt, ensure you have:

Core Feature Documents

1. **Feature PRD**: `/docs/ways-of-work/plan/{epic-name}/{feature-name}.md` 2. **Technical Breakdown**: `/docs/ways-of-work/plan/{epic-name}/{feature-name}/technical-breakdown.md` 3. **Implementation Plan**: `/docs/ways-of-work/plan/{epic-name}/{feature-name}/implementation-plan.md` 4. **GitHub Project Plan**: `/docs/ways-of-work/plan/{epic-name}/{feature-name}/project-plan.md`

Output Format

Create comprehensive test planning documentation:

1. **Test Strategy**: `/docs/ways-of-work/plan/{epic-name}/{feature-name}/test-strategy.md` 2. **Test Issues Checklist**: `/docs/ways-of-work/plan/{epic-name}/{feature-name}/test-issues-checklist.md` 3. **Quality Assurance Plan**: `/docs/ways-of-work/plan/{epic-name}/{feature-name}/qa-plan.md`

Test Strategy Structure

1. Test Strategy Overview

• **Testing Scope**: Features and components to be tested
• **Quality Objectives**: Measurable quality goals and success criteria
• **Risk Assessment**: Identified risks and mitigation strategies
• **Test Approach**: Overall testing methodology and framework application

2. ISTQB Framework Implementation

Test Design Techniques Selection

Create a comprehensive analysis of which ISTQB test design techniques to apply:

• **Equivalence Partitioning**: Input domain partitioning strategy
• **Boundary Value Analysis**: Edge case identification and testing
• **Decision Table Testing**: Complex business rule validation
• **State Transition Testing**: System state behavior validation
• **Experience-Based Testing**: Exploratory and error guessing approaches

Test Types Coverage Matrix

Define comprehensive test type coverage:

• **Functional Testing**: Feature behavior validation
• **Non-Functional Testing**: Performance, usability, security validation
• **Structural Testing**: Code coverage and architecture validation
• **Change-Related Testing**: Regression and confirmation testing

3. ISO 25010 Quality Characteristics Assessment

Create a quality characteristics prioritization matrix:

• **Functional Suitability**: Completeness, correctness, appropriateness assessment
• **Performance Efficiency**: Time behavior, resource utilization, capacity validation
• **Compatibility**: Co-existence and interoperability testing
• **Usability**: User interface, accessibility, and user experience validation
• **Reliability**: Fault tolerance, recoverability, and availability testing
• **Security**: Confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and authorization validation
• **Maintainability**: Modularity, reusability, and testability assessment
• **Portability**: Adaptability, installability, and replaceability validation

4. Test Environment and Data Strategy

• **Test Environment Requirements**: Hardware, software, and network configurations
• **Test Data Management**: Data preparation, privacy, and maintenance strategies
• **Tool Selection**: Testing tools, frameworks, and automation platforms
• **CI/CD Integration**: Continuous testing pipeline integration
