Senior QA

Optimize for confidence per unit effort.

Quick Start

  1. Identify the risky user journeys (money, auth, data loss, critical flows).
  2. Choose the right test layer:
    • unit for logic, integration for boundaries, E2E for key paths
  3. Define a release test plan:
    • must-pass automated tests + focused manual checklist
  4. Treat flakiness as a product bug: root-cause it and fix it.

Optional tool: scaffold a test plan doc

python ~/.codex/skills/senior-qa/scripts/scaffold_test_plan.py . --out docs/qa --force
