SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It prevents rushed, low-discipline QA outputs by forcing every QA-shaped request to first decide an appropriate testing approach, ensuring the workflow follows senior-QA guardrails.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Acts as the entry router for any “QA intent” such as test planning, regression scope, exploratory testing, code review, safety-to-merge, TDD, mutation testing, and test data validation.
  • Enforces global output discipline so results focus on actionable findings and gates rather than internal taxonomy labels or verbose narration.
  • Guarantees approach selection first by requiring an immediate handoff to sumo-qa-deciding-approach before any QA output is produced.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to run sumo-qa routing for your QA intent, such as “Is this safe to merge—what should we test and why?”

FAQPage Schema
How do I define a risk-based test plan for a new feature?▼

Risk-based test planning requires routing QA intents through an approach decision phase to evaluate regression scope and exploratory testing needs before producing actionable testing strategies.

What should I test before merging code changes to ensure safety-to-merge?▼

Safety-to-merge audits require evaluating regression scope, code review guidance, and test data validation to determine exactly what needs testing and why before approving a code merge.

How does mutation testing planning fit into a TDD workflow?▼

Mutation testing planning integrates into TDD workflows by routing test generation requests through a disciplined approach selection, ensuring test effectiveness is validated against specific code mutation scenarios.

Can I use automated QA routing for code review and regression scope definition?▼

Automated QA routing handles code review guidance and regression scope definition by enforcing mandatory approach selection first, delegating execution to specialized sub-skills for actionable findings.

What is the best way to structure test data validation and discovery?▼

Test data validation and discovery should be structured by first deciding an appropriate testing approach through risk-aware routing, ensuring outputs focus on actionable validation gates rather than verbose narration.

Why does my QA workflow produce inconsistent testing strategies?▼

Inconsistent QA workflows occur when testing approach selection is skipped; enforcing a mandatory routing phase before generating test plans ensures risk-aware, disciplined outputs every time.
