Status: ✅ Research complete Last validated: 2025-11-08 Confidence: 🟡 Medium — Research-backed testing playbook – review semi-annually
How to use this skill
- Begin with modules/core-guidance.md to capture context and risk profile.
- Design test portfolio using modules/test-pyramid-and-planning.md.
- Build sustainable automation with modules/automation-frameworks.md.
- Cover non-functional requirements via modules/non-functional-testing.md.
- Integrate into CI and monitor via modules/ci-integration-and-observability.md.
- Govern quality metrics through modules/quality-metrics-and-governance.md.
- Record future improvements in modules/known-gaps.md and revisit modules/research-checklist.md twice a year.
Module overview
