FAQPage Schema
How do I create a system-level test plan with risk assessment and execution strategy?

To create a system-level test plan, you need to review architecture, identify testability gaps before solutioning gate check, and utilize the BMAD framework for structured step-file architecture to output test design documents with detailed risk and coverage analysis.

What is epic-level test design and how does it classify test coverage priorities?

Epic-level test design plans per-epic test coverage with embedded risk assessment and priority classification. It automates the creation of execution ordering to ensure structured integration guidance within BMAD workflows for comprehensive test design documents.

Do I need to know the project architecture and requirements to automate test planning?

Yes, automating the creation of system-level and epic-level test plans requires knowledge of project architecture, requirements, and test frameworks. This context is necessary to perform detailed risk and coverage analysis and generate execution strategy.

Does the BMAD framework support integration guidance for TEA outputs in test planning?

Yes, the BMAD framework provides structured integration guidance for TEA outputs and workflows. It uses a step-file architecture to validate outputs against a comprehensive checklist and review them with the team during system-level or epic-level test design.

What's the best way to validate test design documents and review them with the team?

The best way to validate test design documents is utilizing a structured workflow that validates outputs against a comprehensive checklist. This BMAD framework approach reviews detailed risk and coverage analysis with the team to ensure quality execution strategy.
