QA Test Plan Builder

Status: Experimental

This proposed skill helps the team turn requirements, PR diffs, bug reports, and user workflows into focused QA validation coverage without starting from a blank page.

Purpose

The team often needs lightweight but thorough validation plans before a change is handed to QA or deployed. This skill standardizes scenario coverage, expected results, test data notes, regression areas, and automation candidates.

When To Use

• "Build a test plan for this PBI."
• "Create QA scenarios from this PR diff and acceptance criteria."
• "Turn this bug fix into regression tests and edge cases."

Requirements

• Requirements, acceptance criteria, PR diff, bug report, screenshots, or workflow description.
• Target environment and relevant user roles when the behavior depends on access.
• Known data constraints, feature flags, and integration dependencies.

Install

Install only for intentional trial while this skill is Experimental:

scripts/install-skill.sh qa-test-plan-builder copilot /path/to/project-repo
scripts/install-skill.sh qa-test-plan-builder codex
scripts/install-skill.sh qa-test-plan-builder cursor /path/to/project-repo

Typical Output

• Scenario matrix with priority, steps, and expected result.
• Regression and edge-case checklist.
• Required test data, roles, flags, and environment assumptions.
• Automation candidates and manual-only checks.
• Open questions for product, engineering, or QA.

Testing

• Dry-run from a PBI with vague acceptance criteria and confirm assumptions are called out.
• Dry-run from a PR diff and confirm the plan covers both changed paths and regressions.
• Dry-run from a bug report and confirm reproduction, fix verification, and regression checks are separated.

Example Prompt

Use the QA test plan skill to create manual QA scenarios and automation candidates for this PBI and PR diff.
