SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It prevents rushed, low-discipline QA outputs by forcing every QA-shaped request to first decide an appropriate testing approach, ensuring the workflow follows senior-QA guardrails.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Acts as the entry router for any “QA intent” such as test planning, regression scope, exploratory testing, code review, safety-to-merge, TDD, mutation testing, and test data validation.
  • Enforces global output discipline so results focus on actionable findings and gates rather than internal taxonomy labels or verbose narration.
  • Guarantees approach selection first by requiring an immediate handoff to sumo-qa-deciding-approach before any QA output is produced.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to run sumo-qa routing for your QA intent, such as “Is this safe to merge—what should we test and why?”

FAQPage Schema
How do I define a risk-based test plan for a new feature?

Risk-based test planning requires routing QA intents through an approach decision phase to evaluate regression scope and exploratory testing needs before producing actionable testing strategies.

What should I test before merging code changes to ensure safety-to-merge?

Safety-to-merge audits require evaluating regression scope, code review guidance, and test data validation to determine exactly what needs testing and why before approving a code merge.

How does mutation testing planning fit into a TDD workflow?

Mutation testing planning integrates into TDD workflows by routing test generation requests through a disciplined approach selection, ensuring test effectiveness is validated against specific code mutation scenarios.

Can I use automated QA routing for code review and regression scope definition?

Automated QA routing handles code review guidance and regression scope definition by enforcing mandatory approach selection first, delegating execution to specialized sub-skills for actionable findings.

What is the best way to structure test data validation and discovery?

Test data validation and discovery should be structured by first deciding an appropriate testing approach through risk-aware routing, ensuring outputs focus on actionable validation gates rather than verbose narration.

Why does my QA workflow produce inconsistent testing strategies?

Inconsistent QA workflows occur when testing approach selection is skipped; enforcing a mandatory routing phase before generating test plans ensures risk-aware, disciplined outputs every time.
