QA Test-Execution Task (Stage 6 run phase)

Use this skill when you are the QA Developer running the test suite during the Stage 6 execution phase. Test authoring is a separate step; see skills/qa-test-authoring/SKILL.md.

Procedure

1. Run the full test suite via the project's standard command (npm test, pytest, etc.).

2. Produce pipeline/test-report.md with this shape:

   # Test Report — <feature>
   
   **Run**: <ISO timestamp>
   **Total**: <n> tests — <p> passed / <f> failed
   
   ## Acceptance Criteria Coverage
   
   | # | Criterion | Test(s) | Result |
   |---|-----------|---------|--------|
   | 1 | <text>    | `unit/ac1.test.ts::happy-path` | PASS |
   | 2 | <text>    | `integration/ac2.test.ts` | FAIL |
   
   ## Failing Tests
   
   ### `integration/ac2.test.ts::…`
   

3. Write pipeline/gates/stage-06.json. Required fields:

   {
     "stage": "stage-06",
     "status": "PASS" | "FAIL" | "ESCALATE",
     "workstream": "qa",
     "track": "<track>",
     "timestamp": "<ISO>",
     "all_acceptance_criteria_met": true | false,
     "tests_total": 0,
     "tests_passed": 0,
     "tests_failed": 0,
     "failing_tests": [],
     "assigned_retry_to": null,
     "affected_workstreams": [],
     "criterion_to_test_mapping_is_one_to_one": true | false
   }
   

   Set criterion_to_test_mapping_is_one_to_one to true only if every acceptance criterion has a dedicated test and no test covers multiple criteria with distinct verify conditions. When in doubt, set false.

   noted_for_followup[] (non-blocking observations). When you observe something worth tracking that isn't a test failure — a coverage gap, a testability concern, a missing edge-case scenario the brief didn't require — emit it in noted_for_followup as a structured object rather than a warnings[] string. Use warnings[] for transient issues (e.g. test suite configuration problems); use noted_for_followup for durable work items that should survive the pipeline run. Schema and track_for values are in .devteam/rules/gates-core.md §noted_for_followup[].
