# Step 2: Define NFR Categories & Thresholds
|
|
|
|
## STEP GOAL
|
|
|
|
Establish the NFR categories to assess and the thresholds used for validation.
|
|
|
|
## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES
|
|
|
|
- 📖 Read the entire step file before acting
|
|
- ✅ Speak in `{communication_language}`
|
|
- 🚫 Never guess thresholds
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## 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. Select Categories
|
|
|
|
Use the ADR Quality Readiness Checklist (8 categories):
|
|
|
|
1. Testability & Automation
|
|
2. Test Data Strategy
|
|
3. Scalability & Availability
|
|
4. Disaster Recovery
|
|
5. Security
|
|
6. Monitorability/Debuggability/Manageability
|
|
7. QoS/QoE
|
|
8. Deployability
|
|
|
|
Add any `custom_nfr_categories` if provided.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## 2. Define Thresholds
|
|
|
|
For each category, extract thresholds from:
|
|
|
|
- tech-spec (primary)
|
|
- PRD (secondary)
|
|
- story or test-design (feature-specific)
|
|
|
|
If a threshold is unknown, mark it **UNKNOWN** and plan to report **CONCERNS**.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## 3. Confirm NFR Matrix
|
|
|
|
List each NFR category with its threshold or UNKNOWN status.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## 4. 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:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
---
|
|
stepsCompleted: ['step-02-define-thresholds']
|
|
lastStep: 'step-02-define-thresholds'
|
|
lastSaved: '{date}'
|
|
---
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then write this step's output below the frontmatter.
|
|
|
|
- **If `{outputFile}` already exists**, update:
|
|
- Add `'step-02-define-thresholds'` to `stepsCompleted` array (only if not already present)
|
|
- Set `lastStep: 'step-02-define-thresholds'`
|
|
- Set `lastSaved: '{date}'`
|
|
- Append this step's output to the appropriate section of the document.
|
|
|
|
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.
