Test Reporting

Chinese version: See the corresponding Chinese skill.

When to Use

  • Need help with test reporting in a real project context.
  • Need an output that can be used directly for execution, review, or follow-up.

Workflow

  1. Read and follow the main prompt listed under Progressive disclosure (coverage, structure, quality bar).
  2. Add only project context that changes the result: scope, environment, constraints, risks, dependencies, expected deliverable.
  3. If input is incomplete, return a usable first draft and explicitly mark assumptions and gaps.
  4. Default to Markdown; switch formats only when the user asks.

Core Constraints

  • Prioritize by risk / business impact — do not treat everything equally.
  • Separate confirmed facts from current assumptions.
  • Keep confirmed facts, inference, missing evidence, residual risk, and recommendations in identifiable sections.
  • Do not invent endpoints, fields, environments, or root causes the user did not provide.
  • Keep output executable: concrete scenarios, clear priority, clear next steps.
  • When both execution and defect evidence are absent, the only overall quality state is not executed or insufficient evidence; never report pass or release readiness.

Progressive Disclosure

  • Before producing output, read and follow prompts/test-reporting.md (minimum coverage, output structure, quality bar).
  • When Excel/CSV/JSON/Word is requested: read output-formats.md and honor the format.
  • When a ready-made template fits: use matching files under output-templates/.
  • For format conversion or helper checks: prefer existing scripts/ over reinventing.
  • For evaluating/regressing this skill: use evals/ with skill-up.

Pre-delivery Checklist

  • Followed the main prompt's output structure
  • Minimum coverage focus: scope tested, scope not tested, overall status, critical defects or blockers, risk summary, coverage confidence, environment or data issues, recommended release position, ... (details in main prompt)
  • Covered the minimum checklist, or explained omissions
  • High-risk items have explicit priority
  • Did not invent details the user did not provide
  • Assumptions and gaps are marked
  • Evidence levels are separated; plans, environment readiness, and role opinions are not treated as pass evidence
  • Missing execution and defect evidence did not become a pass, zero-defect, or release-ready conclusion

Common Pitfalls

  • Do not pretend completeness when scope/context is missing.
  • Do not treat every item as equally important.
  • Do not skip assumptions and information gaps.
  • Do not turn a planned case count into execution, or an absent defect list into zero defects.
  • Do not dump generic theory unrelated to the current toolchain.
