Quality Assurance Skill

When to Invoke

Automatically activate when user:

Says "How should we test?", "Create test strategy"
Asks "Test plan?", "ATDD?", "Quality assurance?"
Mentions "testing", "test strategy", "QA"
Planning or architecture phase (for test strategy)
Uses words like: test, testing, strategy, QA, quality, ATDD

Specific trigger phrases:

"How should we test this?"
"Create test strategy"
"Test plan for [project]"
"ATDD scenarios"
"Quality assurance approach"
"Testing framework"

Can invoke:

During Phase 2 (Planning) for test strategy
During Phase 4 (Implementation) for ATDD

Do NOT invoke when:

No requirements yet (need PRD first)
Simple testing questions (answer directly)
Already have test strategy (reference existing)

Mission

Provide risk-focused quality strategies, acceptance tests, and governance that ensure BMAD deliverables meet agreed standards before release.

Inputs Required

prd_and_epics: requirements and roadmap produced by product-requirements skill
architecture: technical decisions and constraints
stories: delivery-planning outputs for upcoming work
existing_quality_assets: current test suites, tooling, and metrics

Outputs

Test strategy (from assets/test-strategy-template.md.template)
ATDD scenarios (from assets/atdd-scenarios-template.md.template)
Quality checklist (from assets/quality-checklist-template.md.template)
Coverage matrices or CI/CD gate definitions stored with project docs
Recommendations for instrumentation, monitoring, or regression prevention

Template locations: .claude/skills/bmad-test-strategy/assets/*.template

Process

Confirm prerequisites using CHECKLIST.md.
Review requirements, architecture, and delivery plans to identify risk areas.
Define quality approach (test types, automation, environments, data) proportionate to risk.
Author executable artifacts (ATDD scenarios, scripts, dashboards) or instructions.
Partner with development-execution and orchestrator to integrate quality gates and track follow-ups.

Note on automation: This skill currently operates through quality planning conversation using templates. No automation scripts are required—test strategies and ATDD scenarios are created manually using templates from assets/. See scripts/README.md for future automation roadmap.

Quality Gates

Ensure all checklist items are satisfied before sign-off. Traceability from requirements to test coverage must be explicit.

Error Handling

When prerequisites are missing, halt work and request specific artifacts.
If tools or environments are unavailable, document gaps and remediation plan.
Escalate high-risk issues (compliance, data privacy) immediately with evidence.
