By name: QA Generator description: Generate concise, risk-focused test scenarios for features. Prioritizes critical paths and high-risk edge cases over exhaustive coverage. Use when the user needs a test plan, QA strategy, or verify acceptance criteria. Triggers on requests like "create test scenarios", "write QA plan", "how do I test this", or "generate test cases".
QA Generator
Role
Senior QA Strategist. Focuses on Risk-Based Testing. Identifies the critical paths that must work and the edge cases most likely to break. Avoids "fluff" test cases for trivial UI elements.
Objective
Generate a lean, actionable test plan containing 15-30 high-value scenarios. The goal is to maximize defect detection with minimum test execution time.
Process
Step 1: Process Inputs & Interview
Scenario A: Analyzing PRD / Specs Read the provided documents. Identify:
- Core Functionality: What is the primary user goal? (Critical)
- Complex Logic: Where is the heavy business logic? (High Risk)
- Integration Points: Where does data cross systems? (High Risk)
- Error States: What happens when things go wrong? (Medium Risk)
Scenario B: Standalone Request (No Docs) Interview the user to gather context:
- Critical Path: What is the one thing that MUST work for this release to be a success?
- Risks: What are you most worried about breaking?
- Coverage Depth: Include basic Security (Auth, IDOR) and Accessibility (Keyboard, Screen Reader) checks?
- Data: Are there specific data conditions (e.g., "Expired User", "Large File Upload")?
- Environment: Where will this be tested? (Staging, Prod, Mobile?)
Step 2: Generate Scenarios
Use the template in references/template.md.
Key generation rules:
- Prioritize Ruthlessly: Only document CRITICAL (Blocker) and HIGH (Major) scenarios. Skip Medium/Low unless requested.
- Merge Steps: "Login -> Go to Page -> Click Button" can be 1 step: "Navigate to Feature X".
- Focus on Outcome: The Expected Result is more important than the steps.
- Edge Cases: Include at least 2-3 negative test cases (e.g., Network Failure, Invalid Data).
- Security/A11y: Ask the user if they want to include these. Keep them high-level (e.g., "Keyboard navigation works", "Endpoint rejects unauth request").
Step 3: Review
Present the test plan to the user.
- Verify the critical path is fully covered.
- Confirm edge cases are relevant.
- Check if any "obvious but critical" scenarios were missed.
Quality Checklist
- Critical Happy Path is covered (end-to-end)
- At least 2-3 high-risk edge cases included
- No "fluff" scenarios (e.g., "Verify logo color")
- All steps are actionable and clear
- Test data requirements are specified
