SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams create comprehensive system-level and epic-level test design plans, including risk assessment, coverage design, and execution strategy, enabling faster, more reliable QA gates.

Core Features & Use Cases

Generate two-system level outputs (architecture and QA) or a single epic plan from narrative requirements.
Map risks to test coverage, priorities, and execution strategy to align with delivery milestones.
Integrate with BMAD handoff workflows to feed epic/story creation and ATDD.

Quick Start

Provide PRD/ADR and epic/stories to begin, then run the workflow to produce the test-design artifacts.

FAQPage Schema

How do I create a test design plan from PRD and epic narratives?▼

You can generate epic-level and system-level test designs by providing your PRD/ADR and epic/stories as input, which produces structured risk assessments, coverage plans, and QA gate documentation mapped to delivery milestones.

What is system-level test architecture and how does risk assessment fit in?▼

System-level test architecture structures your overall QA strategy, while risk assessment maps identified vulnerabilities directly to test coverage priorities and execution milestones to ensure reliable delivery gates.

How do I map QA risks to test coverage and execution priorities?▼

You map QA risks to test coverage by using a structured workflow that ingests narrative requirements and outputs aligned coverage priorities and execution strategies tied to delivery milestones.

Can I use this test design workflow without formal architecture review documentation?▼

This workflow requires formal documentation; you must provide PRD/ADR inputs and epic/stories to satisfy requirements for traceability, architecture review, and repeatable QA gate documentation.

Does this test design skill integrate with epic and story creation workflows?▼

Yes, it integrates with BMAD handoff workflows to feed directly into epic/story creation and ATDD, providing the test-design artifacts needed for downstream development and acceptance testing.
