breakdown-test

breakdown-test is an agent skill from the github/awesome-copilot collection, a prompt that generates a test plan and quality assurance documentation for a feature. The agent acts as a senior quality assurance engineer and test architect, working from the feature's PRD, its technical breakdown and its implementation plan. It produces three core deliverables: a test strategy, a checklist of test issues ready to become work items, and a QA plan. The strategy is aligned with the ISTQB framework, which covers the test process activities of planning, monitoring, analysis, design, implementation, execution and completion, the test design techniques of black-box, white-box and experience-based testing, and the test types, including functional, non-functional, structural and change-related testing. It also applies risk-based testing, which puts the most effort where failures would hurt most. The quality model is ISO 25010, so the plan can check characteristics such as functional suitability, performance, security and maintainability. The skill is useful for teams that want consistent test documentation across features and a checklist that can be tracked in GitHub. The plan is a proposal, so the QA lead should confirm the risk ratings and the scope of testing. The skill is installed with the skills CLI from the github/awesome-copilot repository. Its skills.sh page showed about 9.3K installs and passing results from three security audits at the time of the scan.…
