Step 3: Map Criteria to Tests
STEP GOAL
Create the traceability matrix linking requirements to tests.
MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES
- 📖 Read the entire step file before acting
- ✅ Speak in
{communication_language}
EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
- 🎯 Follow the MANDATORY SEQUENCE exactly
- 💾 Record outputs before proceeding
- 📖 Load the next step only when instructed
CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- Available context: config, loaded artifacts, and knowledge fragments
- Focus: this step's goal only
- Limits: do not execute future steps
- Dependencies: prior steps' outputs (if any)
MANDATORY SEQUENCE
CRITICAL: Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise.
1. Build Matrix
For each acceptance criterion:
- Map to matching tests
- Mark coverage status: FULL / PARTIAL / NONE / UNIT-ONLY / INTEGRATION-ONLY
- Record test level and priority
- Record heuristic signals:
- Endpoint coverage present/missing (for API-impacting criteria)
- Auth/authz coverage present/missing (positive and negative paths)
- Error-path coverage present/missing (validation, timeout, network/server failures)
2. Validate Coverage Logic
Ensure:
- P0/P1 criteria have coverage
- No duplicate coverage across levels without justification
- Criteria are not happy-path-only when requirements imply error handling
- API criteria are not marked FULL if endpoint-level checks are missing
- Auth/authz criteria include at least one denied/invalid-path test where applicable
3. Save Progress
Save this step's accumulated work to {outputFile}.
-
If
{outputFile}does not exist (first save), create it using the workflow template (if available) with YAML frontmatter:--- stepsCompleted: ['step-03-map-criteria'] lastStep: 'step-03-map-criteria' lastSaved: '{date}' ---Then write this step's output below the frontmatter.
-
If
{outputFile}already exists, update:- Add
'step-03-map-criteria'tostepsCompletedarray (only if not already present) - Set
lastStep: 'step-03-map-criteria' - Set
lastSaved: '{date}' - Append this step's output to the appropriate section of the document.
- Add
Load next step: {nextStepFile}
🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS:
✅ SUCCESS:
- Step completed in full with required outputs
❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
- Skipped sequence steps or missing outputs Master Rule: Skipping steps is FORBIDDEN.
