Frequently Asked Questions about bmad-testarch-trace

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a traceability matrix for requirements and test coverage?▼

To generate a traceability matrix, you need a tool that automatically links requirements to tests. This Skill automates that process by analyzing test coverage and mapping criteria to corresponding tests.

How does a quality gate decision work for test coverage analysis?▼

A quality gate decision for test coverage analyzes whether predefined criteria are met. This Skill outputs a PASS, CONCERNS, FAIL, or WAIVED decision based on the coverage status, prioritizing critical criteria for deployment readiness.

Do I need BMAD-CORE to run test coverage analysis and traceability checks?▼

Yes, you need BMAD-CORE and its associated tools to execute this Skill. The dependency is required to generate the traceability matrix and evaluate the quality gate decision.

Can I evaluate multiple test levels when checking requirements traceability?▼

Yes, this Skill supports multiple test levels when checking requirements traceability. It prioritizes coverage status for critical criteria across different testing tiers to provide a comprehensive quality gate decision.

What is the best way to identify gaps in test coverage before deployment?▼

The best way to identify gaps is to generate a traceability matrix linking requirements to tests. This Skill analyzes the coverage and provides a quality gate decision to help you make informed deployment choices.

Why does my quality gate decision return a CONCERNS status during test analysis?▼

A quality gate decision returns CONCERNS when test coverage is incomplete but does not trigger a hard failure. This status indicates gaps in the traceability matrix that require attention before proceeding with deployment.
