SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Map test coverage to GDD critical paths, identify fixed bugs without regression tests, flag coverage drift from new features, and maintain tests/regression-suite.md. Run after implementing a bug fix or before a release gate.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Curated test registry: Maintains a registry of existing tests (in tests/) that cover critical paths and known failure points.
  • Audit & drift detection: Compares coverage against GDD paths and sprint plans to surface gaps and drift indicators.
  • Release gate readiness: Verifies that a regression suite exists and is updated before gate checks.

Quick Start

Run an update after a bug fix to ensure new tests are added to the regression suite.

FAQPage Schema
How do I maintain a regression suite to prevent bug regressions during sprints?

To maintain a regression suite, parse your current test inventory and design documents to map coverage against critical paths, then generate a manifest for release gates. This verifies fixes and detects coverage drift from new features.

What is coverage drift detection and when do I need it for release gate readiness?

Coverage drift detection compares your existing test coverage against design documents and sprint plans to surface gaps. You need it before release gate checks to verify your regression suite is updated and critical paths remain protected.

How do I identify fixed bugs that are missing regression tests?

Identify fixed bugs missing regression tests by auditing your test registry against known failure points and sprint development records. This process flags coverage gaps where bug fixes lack corresponding test coverage.

Can I use this regression suite tool to map test coverage to design documents?

Yes, you can map test coverage by parsing and referencing your current test inventory alongside design documents. This maps existing tests to critical paths and known failure points to surface drift indicators.

What is the best way to generate a regression test manifest for release gates?

The best way to generate a release gate manifest is to parse your test inventory, map it against critical paths in design documents, and compile the validated suite. This ensures all fixed bugs have corresponding tests before deployment.

When should I not rely solely on automated regression testing for sprint development?

You should not rely solely on automated regression testing when coverage drift occurs from new features lacking mapped critical paths. Manual validation is needed when your test registry lacks entries for newly identified failure points.
