What problem does it solve? Test execution often happens ad hoc, with results recorded inconsistently and no traceable evidence linking outcomes to test cases, requirements, or builds. This Skill provides a structured procedure for running planned test cycles, recording outcomes, capturing evidence, and reporting quality status to stakeholders. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Test Cycle Execution: Confirms entry criteria, prepares environments and test data, and executes test cases against an approved test plan. - Evidence-Based Result Recording: Captures outcomes, evidence, and observations for every test case so results are reviewable and traceable to requirements and builds. - Honest Status Reporting: Reports pass, fail, blocked, and skipped states accurately, summarizes cycle results against exit criteria, and hands confirmed failures to defect management. - Use Case: A QA lead running a regression cycle on a release candidate uses this Skill to execute the planned suites, record evidence per test case, track progress against the plan, and publish a test summary report for the release readiness assessment. ## Quick Start Use the Forge-Test-Execution skill to run the current test cycle against the approved test plan and produce a test execution report with evidence for each test case.
