pdd-to-app-journeys

You can generate user journeys by deriving opp-specific expected paths directly from approved Product Design Documents (PDDs). This process extracts happy paths, error recovery edge cases, and negative input paths to serve as ground truth for automated and deep QA testing.

Required user journey categories include happy paths, error recovery edge cases, negative input paths, and mandatory Learn app smoke tests for two-app opportunities. These categories enforce strict coverage rules to prevent false-positive and false-negative QA evaluation failures in Phase 6 app testing.

App user journeys branch based on the PDD's declared archetype (atomic-visit, focus-group, multi-stage) to generate contextually relevant journey sets. Each archetype enforces specific required categories and measurable pass criteria tailored to match the app's actual user flow.

No, you need an approved Product Design Document (PDD) to derive expected user journeys. Using an approved PDD ensures the generated journey sets contain reliable ground truth, measurable pass criteria, and deployability-exercising paths required for accurate Phase 6 app testing.

False-positive and false-negative QA evaluation failures often result from inconsistent expected user journey sets. Generating archetype-branched journeys with strict coverage rules and measurable pass criteria from approved PDDs eliminates the manual, error-prone work causing these test failures.
