FAQPage Schema

How do I audit manual test scripts for QA governance and idempotency?▼

The auditor checks your tests/manual directory for shared test harness adoption, golden-file completeness, fail-fast behavior, config sourcing, template compliance, and idempotent execution to ensure robust QA governance.

What does a manual test quality audit report include?▼

A manual test quality audit report includes severity-based findings and a final scoring rubric, guiding improvements in harness adoption, golden-file completeness, and idempotent execution across your test suite.

Does the manual test auditor require a specific test harness?▼

The auditor verifies the presence and usage of a shared test harness named test_harness.sh, but it evaluates any manual test suite located in the tests/manual directory for harness adoption.

Can I check golden-file coverage and template conformance for manual tests?▼

Yes, you can check golden-file coverage and template conformance by running this auditor on your manual tests, which validates completeness and compliance across the entire tests/manual suite.

What is the best way to evaluate fail-fast behavior in manual test suites?▼

The best way to evaluate fail-fast behavior is to use an auditing tool that scans your manual tests for config sourcing and template compliance, outputting a structured report with severity-based findings.

When should I audit idempotent execution across manual tests?▼

You should audit idempotent execution when you need to verify QA governance and ensure your manual tests produce consistent, repeatable results without side effects across multiple runs.
