SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of ensuring comprehensive test coverage for software development phases by identifying and helping to generate missing validation tests.

Core Features & Use Cases

Automated Gap Detection: Analyzes phase artifacts (PLAN, SUMMARY) to identify requirements lacking automated tests.
Test Infrastructure Discovery: Scans the project for common testing frameworks and configurations.
Gap Remediation: Suggests and can help generate missing tests, updating validation documentation.
Use Case: After completing a development phase, run this Skill to automatically check if all requirements have corresponding tests, flagging any gaps and initiating the creation of new tests to meet validation standards.

Quick Start

Run the validate-phase skill for phase 3 to audit its validation coverage.

FAQPage Schema

How do I audit test coverage gaps for completed development phases?▼

To audit test coverage gaps, this tool analyzes phase artifacts like PLAN and SUMMARY files to identify requirements lacking automated tests, cross-references them with existing tests, and classifies gaps as COVERED, PARTIAL, or MISSING. It then updates validation documentation with the findings.

What is Nyquist validation and when do I need to run a validation audit?▼

Nyquist validation is a standard for ensuring comprehensive test coverage across software development phases. You need to run a validation audit after completing a development phase to automatically detect requirements without automated verification and generate missing tests to meet validation standards.

How do I automatically generate missing tests for unverified project requirements?▼

You can automatically generate missing tests by running this Skill, which identifies unverified requirements and spawns a sub-agent to fill those coverage gaps. It scans for existing test infrastructure and creates the necessary automated verification tests.

Does this validation tool detect existing test infrastructure before generating new tests?▼

Yes, the validation audit detects existing test infrastructure by scanning the project for common testing frameworks and configurations. This ensures it accurately cross-references current tests with requirements before classifying any gaps and initiating test generation.

Can I update VALIDATION.md files automatically with test coverage audit trails?▼

Yes, you can update VALIDATION.md files automatically. After identifying and remediating coverage gaps, the tool updates the VALIDATION.md file with detailed findings and audit trails, maintaining a clear record of requirements verification and generated tests.

What are the limitations of automated test gap detection for CI/CD pipelines?▼

Automated test gap detection relies on analyzing phase artifacts like PLAN and SUMMARY files, meaning its accuracy depends on the quality of those inputs. While it can discover common test infrastructures, it requires properly documented requirements to effectively classify and remediate validation gaps.
