test-plan-writing

test-plan-writing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from The-AI-Directory-Company/agents-and-skills. It costs 38 tokens per session (1,427 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for creating a risk-based test plan, which decides what to test, at which level, and how much testing each part needs. It includes coverage tables, pass/fail rules, and environment requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan testing for features, services, integrations, migrations, or full releases across unit, integration, and end-to-end tests.
Why use it?
It helps teams focus testing effort on changes most likely to cause serious problems instead of treating every part of a release identically.

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

test-plan-writing 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 9d 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.

Test Plan Writing

Before you start

Gather the following from the user. If anything is missing, ask before proceeding:

  1. What is being tested? (Feature, service, migration, integration, or full release)
  2. What are the requirements? (Link to PRD, tickets, or acceptance criteria)
  3. What is the risk profile? (User-facing? Payment flow? Data migration? First launch or incremental?)
  4. What is the tech stack? (Languages, frameworks, third-party integrations, data stores)
  5. What testing infrastructure exists? (CI pipeline, staging environments, test data factories)
  6. What is the timeline? (Release date, testing window, hard deadlines)

Test plan template

1. Scope

Define what is in scope and what is explicitly out of scope. Every out-of-scope item should explain why (separate ticket, future phase, unchanged).

2. Risk Analysis

Rank components by risk. This drives where you invest testing effort.

Component Likelihood Impact Risk Level Testing Investment
Payment processing Medium Critical High Extensive
Cart calculations Low High Medium Moderate
Confirmation page Low Low Low Minimal

Rules:

  • Anything involving money, PII, or data loss is automatically High impact
  • New third-party integrations are Medium likelihood minimum
  • Components with no existing test coverage get a likelihood bump

3. Test Levels per Component

For each component, decide which test levels apply and why.

Component Unit Integration E2E Manual Rationale
Price calculation Yes No No No Pure logic, no external deps
Stripe integration No Yes Yes No Must verify real API contract
Checkout flow No No Yes Yes User-facing critical path

Key principle: test at the lowest level that gives you confidence. Unit tests for logic, integration tests for contracts, E2E for critical user journeys only.

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.
