qa-combination-strategy

qa-combination-strategy is a skill for Claude Code from Kokxi/qa-test-skills. It costs 130 tokens per session (2,832 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for testing systems with many combinations of inputs, browsers, operating systems, devices, or languages without trying every possible combination.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for creating coverage tables with pairwise testing, orthogonal arrays, or risk-based selection, and marking combinations that remain untested.
Why use it?
It reduces the number of test cases while still checking important pairings and adding extra attention to high-risk combinations.

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-combination-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 5d 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.

组合测试策略

核心原则

全组合测不完,不测又怕漏——用科学方法简化。提供 Pairwise、正交实验法、风险加权组合三种简化策略。组合数必须少于全量组合,并标注覆盖分析。

三种简化策略

策略1:Pairwise(两两组合)

原理:每个参数的每个值,至少与其他参数的每个值组合一次

适用场景:
- 参数数量中等(3-10个)
- 每个参数取值不多(2-5个)
- 需要较全面覆盖

生成方法:
1. 列出所有参数及其取值
2. 使用Pairwise算法生成最小用例集
3. 人工审核补充高风险组合

示例:
参数A:a1, a2
参数B:b1, b2, b3
参数C:c1, c2

全组合:2×3×2=12个
Pairwise:最多4-5个用例

策略2:正交实验法

原理:用正交表安排实验,均衡分散、整齐可比

适用场景:
- 参数数量多(>10个)
- 需要统计分析
- 因素间交互作用小

正交表选择:
- L4(2^3):3个2水平因素,4次实验
- L8(2^7):7个2水平因素,8次实验
- L9(3^4):4个3水平因素,9次实验
- L16(4^5):5个4水平因素,16次实验

示例:
因素:
- 浏览器:Chrome, Firefox, Safari(3水平)
- 操作系统:Windows, Mac, Linux(3水平)
- 分辨率:1024x768, 1920x1080(2水平)

选择L18(3^7)正交表

策略3:风险加权组合

原理:高风险组合多测,低风险组合少测

适用场景:
- 已有历史缺陷数据
- 能识别高风险区域
- 需要重点突破

风险评估维度:
1. 业务影响:出问题影响多大?
2. 历史缺陷:这里出过Bug吗?
3. 技术复杂度:实现复杂吗?
4. 变更频率:经常改吗?

风险等级:
- 高风险:全组合测试
- 中风险:Pairwise测试
- 低风险:单参数测试

组合测试流程

步骤1:识别参数

参数识别清单:
├─ 输入参数
│   ├─ 用户输入:文本、数字、选择
│   ├─ 系统参数:配置、环境
│   └─ 数据参数:数据状态、数据量
│
├─ 环境参数
│   ├─ 浏览器:Chrome, Firefox, Safari
│   ├─ 操作系统:Windows, Mac, Linux
│   ├─ 设备:PC, Mobile, Tablet
│   └─ 网络:WiFi, 4G, 弱网
│
└─ 状态参数
    ├─ 用户状态:新用户、老用户、VIP
    ├─ 数据状态:空、少量、大量
    └─ 系统状态:正常、高负载、异常

步骤2:评估风险

风险评估矩阵:

参数组合 业务影响 历史缺陷 技术复杂度 风险等级
A1+B1
A1+B2
A2+B1

步骤3:选择策略

根据风险等级选择测试策略:

高风险组合 → 全组合测试
  示例:支付+优惠券+退款

中风险组合 → Pairwise测试
  示例:浏览器×操作系统×分辨率

低风险组合 → 单参数测试
  示例:不同字体、不同颜色

步骤4:生成用例

用例生成模板:

用例编号:COMBO-001
组合内容:[参数1=值1, 参数2=值2, 参数3=值3]
风险等级:高/中/低
测试重点:[这个组合要特别关注什么]
前置条件:[测试前需要准备什么]
测试步骤:[具体操作步骤]
预期结果:[期望的输出]

组合测试示例

场景:电商下单功能

参数识别

  • 用户类型:新用户、老用户、VIP
  • 商品类型:普通商品、虚拟商品、预售商品
  • 支付方式:微信、支付宝、银行卡
  • 优惠券:无、满减券、折扣券

风险评估

  • 高风险:VIP+预售+折扣券(复杂业务规则)
  • 中风险:新用户+虚拟商品(特殊流程)
  • 低风险:老用户+普通商品+微信(常规流程)

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.

qa-combination-strategy is a skill published in the GitHub repository Kokxi/qa-test-skills (25 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 130 tokens to every session and 2,832 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
