Skill: Test Plan

Activation: #file:_superml/skills/6-quality/test-plan/SKILL.md

---

Purpose

Create a comprehensive test plan that maps every acceptance criterion in the epics to at least one test case, identifies risk areas, and defines the test strategy and scope.

---

Inputs

Load before starting:

• Epic/story backlog: {output_path}/planning/epics.md or equivalent
• Architecture doc: {output_path}/planning/architecture.md (for system boundaries)
• PRD: {output_path}/planning/prd.md (for functional scope)
• Any existing test strategy in _superml/reference/qa/

---

Deliverable

{output_path}/qa/test-plan.md

Test Plan Structure

Generate the test plan with these sections:

# Test Plan — {project_name}

## 1. Scope & Objectives
- What is in scope for this test cycle
- What is explicitly out of scope
- Quality objectives and exit criteria

## 2. Test Strategy
- Testing levels: unit / integration / system / UAT
- Test types: functional, regression, exploratory, performance (if applicable)
- Test environment(s) and data requirements

## 3. Test Cases

### {Epic / Feature Name}
| TC-ID | Story | Description | Test Steps | Expected Result | Priority |
|-------|-------|-------------|-----------|-----------------|----------|
| TC-001 | US-001 | ... | 1. ... 2. ... | ... | P1 |

## 4. Risk Register
| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
|------|-----------|--------|------------|

## 5. Entry & Exit Criteria
### Entry (before testing starts)
- [ ] Implementation signed off
- [ ] Test environment ready
- [ ] Test data prepared

### Exit (before sign-off)
- [ ] All P1/P2 test cases pass
- [ ] No open P1/P2 bugs
- [ ] Test execution report complete

Validation Checklist

Before saving the test plan:

• [ ] Every acceptance criterion maps to at least one test case
• [ ] All test cases have a priority (P1/P2/P3)
• [ ] Risk areas identified and mitigated
• [ ] Entry and exit criteria defined
• [ ] Environment and data requirements documented
