TEA -> BMAD Integration Handoff

Purpose

This document bridges the purple-envelope regression test design with future BMAD epic/story work so the current behavior contract is preserved during implementation.

TEA Artifacts Inventory

Artifact	Path	BMAD Integration Point
Test Design Architecture	D:\Development\Tracking_Kits\_bmad-output\test-artifacts\test-design-architecture.md	Architectural blockers, risk mitigation, testability requirements
Test Design QA	D:\Development\Tracking_Kits\_bmad-output\test-artifacts\test-design-qa.md	Story acceptance criteria and regression scenario coverage
Risk Assessment	embedded in both docs	Epic quality gates and story priority

Epic-Level Integration Guidance

Risk References

• R-001 / R-002 must be treated as epic-level quality blockers because ordering or aggregation defects change operator-facing output.
• R-006 must be scheduled as enabling work before expecting reliable automated regression coverage.

Quality Gates

• No story touching the purple-envelope edit page is complete until mixed-format precinct ordering is proven against seeded data.
• No story touching the report query/view is complete until ballot low/high aggregation is verified.
• Print-affecting changes require a manual Windows/IIS print smoke before release.

Story-Level Integration Guidance

P0/P1 Test Scenarios -> Story Acceptance Criteria

• The purple-envelope report renders jurisdiction, JCode, and election date exactly as currently approved.
• Precincts sort in the frozen ascending order for zero-padded, numeric, and alpha-suffixed values.
• Each precinct shows the correct low/high ballot number range.
• Kit-wide and precinct-specific color updates still work on the same screen.
• Empty precinct datasets show the current no-data row without error.

Data-TestId Requirements

• Not applicable for Classic ASP in the current implementation.
• Prefer stable HTML markers, predictable headings, and table structure for server-render assertions.

Risk-to-Story Mapping

Risk ID	Category	P×I	Recommended Story/Epic	Test Level
R-001	DATA	2x3	Purple-envelope report ordering contract	Integration
R-002	DATA	2x3	Purple-envelope ballot aggregation contract	Integration
R-003	BUS	2x2	Election date render/fallback behavior	Integration
R-004	OPS	2x2	Print-only report markup and manual print smoke	Integration + Manual
R-005	BUS	2x2	Preserve color-assignment workflows on same screen	Integration
R-006	TECH	3x2	Disposable MDB/reset harness for regression suite	Enabler
R-007	BUS	2x2	Empty-state render contract	Integration

Recommended BMAD -> TEA Workflow Sequence

1. TEA Test Design (TD) -> complete
2. BMAD Create Epics & Stories -> include regression-preservation stories and test-harness enabler work
3. TEA ATDD (AT) -> generate failing checks for P0 report-ordering and aggregation scenarios
4. BMAD Implementation -> add fixtures/tests/harness work
5. TEA Automate (TA) -> expand the suite beyond the initial P0/P1 checks
6. TEA Trace (TR) -> verify risk coverage completeness

Phase Transition Quality Gates

From Phase	To Phase	Gate Criteria
Test Design	Epic/Story Creation	R-001, R-002, and R-006 mitigation work represented in planning
Epic/Story Creation	ATDD	P0 scenarios for ordering and aggregation translated into executable checks
ATDD	Implementation	Seed fixtures and disposable DB approach agreed
Implementation	Test Automation	Automated P0 checks passing
Test Automation	Release	Manual print smoke complete for print-affecting changes
