You can plan risk-based testing for system-level architecture by running a test-design workflow that automatically generates architecture documents, QA design templates, and risk assessment artifacts. It targets Phase 3 system-level planning to produce structured QA design outputs.

Risk-based test design is a structured QA approach that aligns testing activities around architecture decisions and risk assessment. You need NFR coverage artifacts when planning system-level or epic-level testing to ensure non-functional requirements are validated.

You generate epic-level QA design documents by invoking the test-design workflow, which auto-detects epic-level Phase 4 mode. It produces test-design-qa.md templates alongside integrated risk, coverage, and execution strategy artifacts.

Yes, BMAD TEA test design produces handoff-ready outputs for QA workflows by generating architecture and QA design documents configured to BMAD artifacts. It enforces frontmatter-based context loading and knowledge fragments for seamless integration.

The best way to automate test design planning across system and epic scopes is to use a coordinated workflow that auto-detects the design mode. It targets Phase 3 and Phase 4 planning to automatically generate architecture, risk, NFR, and coverage artifacts.

Yes, you can use architecture decisions to drive test execution strategy and coverage planning through the integrated risk assessment workflow. It generates QA design templates that align execution strategies with architecture decisions and NFR planning.
