SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Jay-Dev QA Testing Skill provides a structured approach to validating software quality by implementing three-tier QA: smoke, sanity, and regression testing, ensuring changes don't regress existing functionality.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Three-tier QA methodology: smoke, sanity, and regression tests to cover quick checks, feature validation, and end-to-end workflows.
  • Test-index driven: relies on docs/qa/TEST_INDEX.md to organize test cases, checklists, and evidence.
  • Shipping readiness: supports pre-release verification and audit trails through RUNS/ reports.

Quick Start

  • Inspect docs/qa/TEST_INDEX.md to understand current tests
  • Run smoke tests for UI changes using the prescribed commands or toolchain
  • Create a QA run report in docs/qa/RUNS/ to document results

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate regression testing for web applications before shipping?

Regression testing for web applications is automated by standardizing a three-tier QA process that validates completed feature slices and generates pre-shipping audit trails in RUNS/ reports.

What is the difference between smoke, sanity, and regression tests?

Smoke tests perform quick UI checks, sanity tests validate completed feature slices, and regression tests execute end-to-end workflows to ensure new changes do not regress existing functionality across the codebase.

How do I create a test index for QA test planning and traceability?

A test index for QA test planning is created using docs/qa/TEST_INDEX.md to organize test cases, checklists, and evidence, ensuring traceable quality gates across the software development lifecycle.

Do I need a specific test framework to run smoke tests for UI changes?

No specific test framework dependency is required; the skill applies prescribed commands or toolchains to run smoke tests for UI-affecting changes using the standardized test index methodology.

What's the best way to document QA run reports for audit trails?

Documenting QA run reports for audit trails is done by creating files in docs/qa/RUNS/ to record run results, supporting pre-release verification and traceable quality gates for software changes.

When should I run sanity tests instead of full regression tests?

Sanity tests should be run to validate completed feature slices, whereas regression tests are reserved for pre-shipping validation to ensure broader end-to-end workflows remain unaffected.
