Progress Checklist

Copy and track your progress:

- [ ] Step 1: Validate prerequisites
- [ ] Step 2: Detect ticket type and route
- [ ] Step 3: Write test plan to test_plan/
- [ ] Step 4: Review coverage (matrix + diagrams)
- [ ] Validate: Scenario count + coverage assessment
- [ ] Step 5: Create Confluence test plan pages
- [ ] Validate: Confluence URL + page count
- [ ] Step 6: Review Confluence for formatting issues

Steps

Step 1: Validate Prerequisites

Check that 00_Main_Task_*.md exists in the current project folder.

If missing: "Please run /receiving-tickets [TICKET] first to gather all documentation."

Step 2: Detect Ticket Type and Route

Run /tw-plan-init to detect the ticket type and route to the appropriate planning command:

• Type A (Feature): → /tw-plan-feature
• Type B (Bug Fix): → /tw-plan-bugfix
• Type C (Enhancement): → /tw-plan-enhance

Step 3: Write Test Plan

Execute the routed planning command from Step 2. It writes test plan sections to test_plan/README.md and test_plan/sections/ based on the detected type:

• Feature: 5-8 scenarios, comprehensive coverage
• Bug Fix: 2-4 scenarios, focused on defect verification + regression
• Enhancement: 4-6 scenarios, hybrid new + regression

Step 4: Review Plan

Run /tw-plan-review to analyze coverage and generate:

• Coverage matrix (ASCII table)
• Gap and overlap analysis

Run /tw-diagrams to generate diagrams for 5+ scenarios (configuration flow, data flow, modular design).

Validate

Report:

• Total scenario count
• Estimated test case count
• Coverage assessment: READY FOR TEST CASES or NEEDS REVISION

Step 5: Create Confluence Pages

Run /cf-create-page to create the test plan hierarchy in Confluence.

Page Naming Convention

Feature (Type A)

Bug Fix (Type B)

Enhancement (Type C)

Create parent page first, then child pages for each section. Parent page ID is provided by the user.

MCP tool: mcp-atlassian:confluence_create_page

Validate

Report:

• Confluence parent page URL
• Number of pages created

Step 6: Review Confluence

Run /cf-review-page to fetch each created page and check for markdown conversion issues (lists rendering as plain text, missing tables, etc.).

MCP tool: mcp-atlassian:confluence_get_page with convert_to_markdown: false

Expected Input

Path to project folder containing 00_Main_Task_*.md and optional Confluence docs.

Next Step

After planning tests, run /designing-cases to create detailed test cases.
