Test Design Progress

Step 1 - Detect Mode

• Selected system-level mode
• Reason: user requested a risk-based plan for current functionality, no sprint-status artifact exists, and brownfield architecture/docs were available
• Constraint noted: no formal PRD/ADR exists for this feature slice, so brownfield docs and current approved behavior were used as the functional baseline

Step 2 - Load Context

• Loaded project context, module docs, development/testing guidance, and the exact purple-envelope controller/repository/view files
• Loaded TEA knowledge fragments for ADR readiness, risk scoring, probability/impact, test levels, priorities, and test quality
• Confirmed current test framework is ASPUnit with helper-focused coverage, not browser E2E automation

Step 3 - Risk and Testability

• Identified 7 risks total, with 3 high-priority risks:
  • R-001 mixed-format precinct ordering regression
  • R-002 ballot range aggregation regression
  • R-006 missing isolated test-data harness
• Identified primary testability blockers:
  • no disposable test DB convention
  • no controller render harness
  • behavior contract is mostly implicit in code and operator expectations

Step 4 - Coverage Plan

• Defined a focused regression plan:
  • P0 ~4 checks
  • P1 ~6 checks
  • P2 ~4 checks
  • P3 ~2 manual print checks
• Chose integration-style ASPUnit/IIS verification as the main automated level
• Kept print-preview specifics as manual smoke for browser-controlled behavior

Step 5 - Generate Output

• Wrote architecture-focused test design:
  • D:\Development\Tracking_Kits\_bmad-output\test-artifacts\test-design-architecture.md
• Wrote QA execution plan:
  • D:\Development\Tracking_Kits\_bmad-output\test-artifacts\test-design-qa.md
• Wrote BMAD handoff:
  • D:\Development\Tracking_Kits\_bmad-output\test-artifacts\test-design\workspace-handoff.md

Completion Report

• Mode used: system-level
• Key gate thresholds: P0 100% pass, P1 >=95%, manual Windows print smoke for print-affecting changes
• Open assumptions:
  • brownfield docs are acceptable substitutes for a formal PRD
  • a disposable MDB/reset approach will be created before automation work starts
  • browser header/footer behavior remains outside reliable app-level automation
