To generate a test design document for epic planning, load your project artifacts like PRDs and ADRs into the workflow. The skill produces template-based outputs including risk assessments, coverage plans, and execution strategies ready for QA handoff.

System-level test design in architecture reviews is the process of aligning QA activities with architectural decisions and risk considerations. It generates comprehensive test strategies and risk assessments from project artifacts to validate system architecture.

You can create a risk assessment from PRD and ADR files by loading them into the test design workflow. The system evaluates the project artifacts and automatically generates a structured risk assessment alongside coverage plans and resource estimates.

Yes, the BMAD test design workflow supports custom templates via a customize.toml configuration file. You can apply specific settings and use resolve-customization.py to tailor the generated outputs for architecture and QA.

Yes, you can use knowledge fragments for test strategy generation. The workflow loads these fragments dynamically as needed alongside your PRD and ADR context to produce consistent and comprehensive test design templates.

The best way to align QA activities with architectural decisions is to apply a system-level test design workflow during architecture reviews. This automates risk assessment and coverage plan generation directly from your ADRs and PRDs.
