Qa Expert

What it does

The QA Expert skill establishes structured quality assurance (QA) testing processes for software projects, drawing upon Google Testing Standards and OWASP security best practices. It enables AI agents to initialize QA infrastructure, write standardized test cases using the AAA pattern, track test execution, generate reports, and implement security testing. The skill aims to improve accuracy and efficiency in software quality verification.

When to use it

• Setting up QA infrastructure for new or existing projects.
• Writing standardized test cases adhering to the AAA (Arrange-Act-Assert) pattern.
• Executing comprehensive test plans and tracking progress.
• Implementing security testing based on OWASP Top 10 principles.
• Preparing QA documentation for team handoffs.

Key capabilities

• QA Project Initialization: Creates a complete QA infrastructure including directory structure, tracking CSVs, documentation templates, and a master prompt for autonomous execution.
• Test Case Writing: Facilitates the creation of standardized test cases following the AAA pattern, with priority assignment (P0-P4) and consideration of edge cases.
• Test Execution & Tracking: Provides guidance on manual and autonomous test execution, emphasizing the importance of a "Ground Truth Principle" to maintain accurate test specifications.

Example prompts

• “Initialize QA infrastructure for my project called ‘Project Phoenix’ in the directory /projects/phoenix_qa.”
• “Write a standardized test case following the AAA pattern for user login functionality, assigning it priority P2.”
• "Show me the template for writing a test case."

Tips & gotchas

• The "Ground Truth Principle" is critical: always refer to test case documents as the authoritative source of truth and avoid batch updates to tracking CSVs.
• For autonomous execution, utilize the master prompt provided (references/master_qa_prompt.md) for a significant speedup.
• Test cases should follow a specific format: TC-[CATEGORY]-[NUMBER] (e.g., TC-CLI-001).
