QA Expert

Sets up an end-to-end QA process—test strategy, AAA-style test cases, execution tracking, P0–P4 bug triage, and quality-gate reporting—from ready-made templates and scripts.

What it does

  • Bootstraps QA infrastructure: one run of init_qa_project.py creates tests/docs, tests/e2e, tracking CSVs for test execution and bugs, a baseline metrics doc, and a weekly report template.
  • Writes standardized test cases: follows the Google Testing Standards AAA (Arrange-Act-Assert) pattern with IDs such as TC-CLI-001 or TC-SEC-007.
  • Tracks execution and bugs: treats the test case documents as the single source of truth, updates the tracking CSV after every test, and files bugs with P0–P4 severity plus reproduction steps.
  • Calculates metrics and quality gates: calculate_metrics.py prints a dashboard with progress, pass rate, P0/P1 counts, coverage, and pass/fail status for each release gate.
  • Security testing: maps OWASP Top 10 threats to concrete attack-vector test cases, targeting 90% coverage.
  • Onboarding and handoff: a 5-hour Day 1 guide for new QA engineers and a packaging checklist for third-party QA teams.

Who it's for

  • Startup engineering teams with no formal QA process beyond spreadsheets
  • Tech leads who want release criteria expressed as objective numbers
  • PMs handing test documentation to an outsourced QA vendor
  • Backend developers starting structured OWASP-based security testing

Examples

  1. Fresh QA setup: "Initialize QA infrastructure for my-app and draft the baseline metrics document" — directories, CSVs, and templates are generated in one shot.
  2. Bulk test authoring: "Write 20 P0–P2 test cases for the payments API in AAA format using TC-API-XXX IDs."
  3. Weekly reporting: "Read TEST-EXECUTION-TRACKING.csv and produce this week's report with pass rate, open P1 bugs, and quality gate status."

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the qa-expert folder from the GitHub repo daymade/claude-code-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/qa-expert/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/daymade/claude-code-skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r claude-code-skills/qa-expert ~/.claude/skills/

This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal (Terminal on macOS, WSL or Git Bash on Windows).
  2. Create the skills folder if needed: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  3. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/daymade/claude-code-skills.git
  4. Copy just this skill: cp -r claude-code-skills/qa-expert ~/.claude/skills/
  5. Confirm Python 3 is available, since the skill ships Python scripts: python3 --version
  6. Restart Claude Code, then ask something like "set up a QA process for this project" or "write test cases" to trigger the skill.
  7. You can also run the initializer manually from your project root: python3 ~/.claude/skills/qa-expert/scripts/init_qa_project.py my-app ./
