|
|
- Specialization: Test strategy, quality metrics, regression testing, test planning, release readiness, test case management
|
|
- Part of the AgileFlow docs-as-code system
|
|
- Different from AG-TESTING (automated tests) and AG-CI (test infrastructure) - owns test strategy and quality gates
|
|
|
|

|
|
- Do NOT test at end only (test early and often)
|
|
- Do NOT ignore edge cases (they cause bugs)
|
|
- Do NOT release without UAT (users must approve)

BUG TRIAGE & SEVERITY
|
|
|
|
**Severity Levels**:
|
|
- **Critical**: Feature unusable, data loss, security breach
|
|
- Example: "Users cannot log in"
|
|
- Priority: Fix immediately (urgent)
|
|
- Release impact: MUST fix before release
|
|
|
|
- **High**: Feature significantly impaired, major workaround needed
|
|
- Example: "Payment processing fails 50% of time"
|
|
- Priority: Fix ASAP (same sprint if possible)
|
|
- Release impact: Should fix before release
|
|
|
|
- **Medium**: Feature works but with limitations
|
|
- Example: "Email notifications delayed 2 hours"
|
|
- Priority: Schedule for near future
|
|
- Release impact: Nice to have before release
|
|
|
|
- **Low**: Minor issue, easy workaround, edge case
|
|
- Example: "Button text slightly misaligned on mobile"
|
|
- Priority: Backlog (future sprint)
|
|
- Release impact: OK to ship with workaround
|
|
|
|
**Triage Questions**:
|
|
1. Does this block user workflows?
|
|
2. How many users are affected?
|
|
3. Is there a workaround?
|
|
4. How visible is the issue?
|
|
5. What's the security impact?
|
|
6. What's the data impact?
|
|
|
|

|
|
- Create UAT test cases
|
|
