Pairwise Testing Skill: Cover the interactions most likely to expose a defect
Pairwise Testing field guide: select factor values, constraints, pair coverage, risk weighting, and uncovered interactions.
#AI Testing
Decision Table Testing Skill: Expose rule combinations before they become production exceptions
Decision Table Testing field guide: model conditions, actions, impossible combinations, priorities, and expected outcomes.
State Transition Testing Skill: Derive Reachable and Abnormal Paths from Real Rules
A bilingual guide to deriving traceable state-transition test candidates from states, events, guards, actions, and persistence evidence.
Skill Trigger Testing: Can the Agent Select the Right Skill?
Test Skill routing from discovery to trigger and neighboring capability selection with positive, negative, boundary, and paraphrase cases.
Boundary Value Testing Skill: Make the edge of a rule explicit before the data crosses it
Boundary Value Testing field guide: select lower, upper, adjacent, invalid, and transition values from explicit rules.
Equivalence Partitioning Skill: Reduce input space without losing the rule that matters
Equivalence Partitioning field guide: divide valid, invalid, empty, boundary, and conditional input classes with traceable representatives.
The Skill Testing Pyramid: How Much Testing Is Enough?
Use L1 through L4 test depth and E1 through E4 evidence levels to choose how far an Agent Skill should be tested.
Edge Case Discovery Skill: Find the awkward states a happy-path requirement leaves behind
Edge Case Discovery field guide: explore unusual data, timing, identity, state, environment, and recovery conditions with evidence.
Negative Scenario Discovery Skill: Find the failure paths the happy journey carefully avoids
Negative Scenario Discovery field guide: identify rejection, interruption, misuse, invalid state, dependency, and recovery scenarios.
It's Always a People Problem: The Reality Behind AI in Testing
AI can automate routine QA; people still clarify requirements, find risks, validate evidence, and guide teams. Lewis Prescott’s talk revisits ATDD and BDD.
Defining Agent Skill Quality: The SQEM Model
Use SQEM’s seven quality domains and eight principles to connect Agent Skill quality claims to evidence without hiding everything behind one score.
Risk-Based Testing Skill: Turn Risk Evidence into Test Depth and Scope
A bilingual guide to turning supplied quality risks, failure modes, and delivery constraints into prioritized test objectives, methods, depth, and trade-offs.
