qa-test-strategy

qa-test-strategy is a skill for Codex from jeremylongworth-source/AgentSkills. It costs 73 tokens per session (361 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A plan for testing software, games, websites, products, or launches. It connects testing work to user risks, technical risks, and release decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps choose test types, define acceptance criteria, prepare test data and environments, decide what to automate, and track defects.
Why use it?
It prevents teams from testing only the happy path and missing important failures before release.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

qa-test-strategy scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

QA Test Strategy

Core Workflow

  1. Identify the product surface, user risks, technical risks, release stage, platforms, integrations, and failure cost.
  2. Define test goals by risk, not by a generic test pyramid alone.
  3. Choose test types: unit, integration, contract, end-to-end, visual, accessibility, performance, security, compatibility, exploratory, playtest/usability, smoke, or regression.
  4. Define acceptance criteria and release gates before implementation is considered done.
  5. Plan test data, environments, mocks, fixtures, devices, accounts, permissions, and observability.
  6. Separate automation candidates from manual/exploratory coverage.
  7. Track defects by severity, reproducibility, affected users, release risk, and owner.

Freshness Rule

Verify current framework, platform, browser, device, app-store, engine, or compliance testing requirements before giving version-sensitive QA guidance. Testing principles are durable; certification, browser behavior, and tool APIs change.

Deliverable Shape

For QA work, provide:

  • Scope and risk profile
  • Test strategy by layer/type
  • Acceptance criteria
  • Test data and environment needs
  • Automation vs manual coverage
  • Release gates
  • Defect triage and residual risk

References

  • Read references/qa-test-strategy-checklist.md when planning or reviewing QA coverage.
Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
