What problem does it solve?
It prevents bugs from silently returning by ensuring fixes are backed by regression tests, and it helps detect when new features or GDD changes outpace the existing test coverage.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Critical-path mapping to tests: Audits GDD acceptance criteria and maps them to existing unit/integration tests to identify COVERED, PARTIAL, MISSING, or EXEMPT areas.
- Fixed-bug regression verification: Scans closed/fixed bugs and checks whether each has a corresponding regression guard in
tests/.
- Coverage drift detection: Flags likely staleness when the suite manifest is outdated, new systems/stories lack coverage, or new GDD sections appear without matching regression updates.
- Suite manifest maintenance: Produces and/or updates
tests/regression-suite.md as a curated registry of regression tests to require for release gates.
Quick Start
Run /regression-suite audit to generate an end-to-end status report of critical path coverage and identify regression gaps before the next release gate.
