Beginner

Key capabilities

  • Define test strategy and levels
  • Specify test coverage targets
  • Document functional test cases using Given/When/Then
  • Outline non-functional test cases
  • Define test environment requirements

How it works

The skill guides the user through creating a testing plan by reading existing documentation and focusing on defining test strategy, coverage, and test cases. It ensures the `e-testing-plan.md` file is updated with the necessary details.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
Task arguments and current task/workflow context
You get back
An updated `e-testing-plan.md` file with a structured testing plan

When to use cwf-testing-plan

  • Defining test strategy
  • Creating functional test cases
  • Planning environment validation

About this skill

Scope & Boundaries

This step: Complete e-testing-plan.md with test strategy, test cases, and validation criteria. Not this step: Running tests (that's g-testing-exec), deployment, or maintenance. If blocked or finished: Call .cwf/scripts/command-helpers/workflow-manager control --current-step=e-testing-plan --task-path=<path> to determine next action.

Context

Task arguments: {arguments} Current task/workflow: Run .cwf/scripts/command-helpers/task-context-inference using the Bash tool.

First: Run .cwf/scripts/command-helpers/context-manager location using the Bash tool to confirm git root.

Workflow

Steps 1-4 (Preamble): Read .cwf/docs/skills/workflow-preamble.md and follow Steps 1-4 (argument parsing, task resolution, parent context, LLM decision).

Step 5: Read .cwf/docs/workflow/workflow-steps/testing-planning.md for detailed testing phase guidance.

Step 6 (Execute):

  • Open e-testing-plan.md (v2.1) or e-testing.md (v2.0) or testing.md (v1.0)
  • Focus on: Test strategy, test cases, test environment, validation criteria
  • Avoid: Implementation details, design rationale, deployment procedures
  • Key content: test levels, coverage targets, functional/non-functional test cases, environment setup

Step 7: Check decomposition signals. See .cwf/docs/workflow/decomposition-guide.md.

Step 8: Checkpoint commit. See .cwf/docs/skills/checkpoint-commit.md. Stage: e-testing-plan.md

Step 9 (Next Steps):

  • Primary: Move to implementation execution → /cwf-implementation-exec <task-path>
  • Alt: Return to implementation if tests reveal defects
  • Alt: Extend testing if coverage insufficient

Success Criteria

  • Testing file opened and updated
  • Test strategy defined with test levels
  • Test coverage targets specified
  • Functional test cases documented (Given/When/Then)
  • Non-functional test cases specified
  • Test environment requirements defined
  • Next steps suggested

When not to use it

  • When running tests, as this is handled by `g-testing-exec`
  • When focusing on implementation details or design rationale
  • When deployment procedures are the primary concern

Limitations

  • The skill does not run tests.
  • It focuses solely on the planning phase of testing.
  • It avoids implementation details, design rationale, and deployment procedures.

How it compares

This skill provides a structured workflow for creating a testing plan document, ensuring all critical aspects like strategy, coverage, and test cases are covered, unlike an ad-hoc or unstructured planning process.
