SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Gate QA between implementation and QA hand-off by running the automated test suite, validating core functionality, and producing a PASS/FAIL report.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Runs the automated test suite and collects results to determine readiness for QA.
  • Verifies core functionality across critical paths and reports PASS/FAIL status.
  • Supports platform-aware and sprint-based configurations to tailor checks before hand-off.

Quick Start

Run /smoke-check sprint after a sprint's stories are implemented to gate QA hand-off.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate smoke testing before QA hand-off?

Automated smoke testing verifies core functionality across critical paths by running the test suite and collecting results. It determines readiness for QA hand-off by producing a PASS/FAIL report based on sprint stories and platform variants.

When do I need a smoke test gate in my sprint workflow?

A smoke test gate is needed after sprint stories are implemented and before QA hand-off. It executes automated checks to validate critical paths, ensuring platform variants and CI artifacts pass before manual QA evaluation begins.

Can I run platform-specific smoke checks for different environments?

Yes, platform-aware smoke checks support different environments by tailoring configurations before QA hand-off. The automated test suite evaluates platform variants and produces per-run reporting with PASS/FAIL status for each specific check.

What is the best way to gate QA with automated test results?

The best way to gate QA with automated test results is running the test suite to validate critical paths and generating a PASS/FAIL report. This approach specifies required test frameworks and QA plan references for structured per-run reporting.

Does smoke-check work with sprint-based QA configurations?

Yes, smoke-check supports sprint-based QA configurations by evaluating implemented stories and platform variants. It runs automated test suites to validate core functionality and produces PASS/FAIL reports tailored for QA hand-off readiness.

Why use automated smoke checks instead of manual QA validation?

Automated smoke checks provide a consistent gate between implementation and QA by running test suites and producing PASS/FAIL reports. This reduces manual effort by validating critical paths and platform variants before hand-off.
