SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Game teams often lack a structured, risk-based test plan, leaving critical gameplay, save, multiplayer, and platform certification issues undiscovered until late in development. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Risk-Based Test Scenarios: Generates GIVEN/WHEN/THEN scenarios across gameplay, progression, multiplayer, platform, and E2E categories with P0-P3 priorities. - Coverage Matrix & Automation Strategy: Produces a feature-by-priority coverage matrix plus recommendations on what to automate versus test manually. - Structured Deliverable: Outputs a complete game-test-design.md document using a template, validated against a checklist. - Use Case: After finishing a GDD for a turn-based strategy game, run this workflow to produce a prioritized test plan covering combat, save/load roundtrips, and certification requirements before writing any test code. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to design tests for your game project based on the existing game design document.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a test plan for a video game?▼

Provide your game design document and this workflow analyzes core mechanics, assesses risk areas, and generates prioritized GIVEN/WHEN/THEN test scenarios across gameplay, progression, multiplayer, and platform categories, output as a game-test-design.md file.

What test categories should a game QA plan cover?▼

A complete game test design covers core gameplay (combat, movement, UI), progression (save/load, unlocks, economy), multiplayer (connectivity, sync, latency), platform certification (TRC/XR, input, performance), and E2E player journeys.

How are game test scenarios prioritized?▼

Scenarios are assigned P0 through P3 priorities based on risk and player impact. P0 covers ship blockers like the core loop and save integrity, P1 covers major features, and P2/P3 cover secondary features and edge cases.

Does this workflow support multiplayer game testing?▼

Yes, it includes a multiplayer testing category with scenarios for connectivity, state synchronization, high-latency degradation, and matchmaking, applied only when the game design documentation indicates multiplayer functionality.

What inputs are required before designing game tests?▼

The workflow requires game design documentation such as a GDD or feature specs, knowledge of target platforms and certification requirements, and an understanding of the core gameplay loop before it can generate scenarios.
