High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a test strategy from PRD and ADR documents?

To create a test strategy from PRD and ADR documents, provide the project context to generate system-level test plans. The skill targets PRD and ADR inputs to produce architecture-focused test design outputs aligned with BMAD templates.

What is epic-level test design and how does it work?

Epic-level test design generates test plans from Epic and Stories context rather than system-level documents. It outputs QA-focused files containing structured risk assessments, coverage plans, and execution strategies aligned with BMAD templates.

How do I perform a risk assessment for system-level test planning?

Risk assessment for system-level test planning is performed by validating project context against BMAD risk checklists. The skill enforces this validation to ensure the generated test design architecture and QA outputs meet coverage requirements.

Can I resume editing a test plan if the workflow is interrupted?

Yes, you can resume and edit test plans because the skill supports resume, edit, and validation workflows via BMAD's step-file architecture. This allows you to continue generating test design outputs seamlessly after an interruption.

Does this test design skill work without external dependencies?

Yes, the test design skill works without external dependencies, relying solely on its internal scripts. It requires only your PRD, ADR, or Epic context as input to generate the architecture and QA test strategy documents.

What is the best way to validate test coverage for an epic?

The best way to validate test coverage for an epic is to use the skill's enforced BMAD validation checklists. It processes Epic and Stories context to generate a coverage plan and execution strategy, ensuring comprehensive QA validation.
