qa-role-manual-tester

Manual tester / QA analyst role bundle: one-command install of manual scripted + exploratory testing, test case management, defect management, bug reproduction, test reporting, test process, test data, and browser/OS compatibility. Organized around the job role, not a technology stack.

Install this role bundle

/plugin install qa-role-manual-tester@testland-qa

One command installs all 8 member plugins. Requires Claude Code v2.1.110+ (v2.1.143+ to enable the whole set together).

Manual Tester / QA Analyst (role bundle)

Unlike the tech-domain bundles (qa-role-frontend, qa-role-backend), this bundle is organized around the job role: it covers a manual tester's whole week — design test cases, run exploratory sessions, execute scripted runs, file and verify bugs, sync results to your test case management tool — regardless of which technology stack the product is built on.

Installing this one plugin installs all 8 member plugins below in a single command.

Install

/plugin marketplace add testland/qa
/plugin install qa-role-manual-tester@testland-qa

Claude Code resolves and installs the member plugins automatically and lists what it added. Requires Claude Code v2.1.110+ (v2.1.143+ to enable the whole set together).

What this installs

qa-manual-testing - Manual scripted + exploratory testing (SBTM charters, heuristics, tours, UAT scripts, bug bashes)
qa-test-management - Test case repository management (TestRail, Xray, Zephyr Scale, Allure TestOps, Qase) + traceability

qa-bug-repro - Bug report authoring, reproduction, failure classification
qa-test-reporting - Run summaries + posting results back to your TCM
qa-process - Test design ideation, risk-based testing, smoke suites, Definition of Done
qa-test-data - Test data generation and preparation
qa-compatibility - Browser/OS/device matrix strategy

About role bundles

This is a role bundle - a plugin that ships no skills or agents of its own. It exists only to install a curated set of testing plugins together so you adopt a whole role in one command instead of installing each plugin by hand. Prefer a narrower set? Install just the member plugins you need individually.

qa-manual-testing

Manual scripted + exploratory testing: 14 skills (bug-bash-facilitator, crusspic-stmpl-heuristic, decision-table-test-design, exploratory-tours-reference, fcc-cuts-vids-heuristic, hiccupps-f-heuristic, manual-test-debrief, manual-test-script-author, manual-testing-getting-started, sbtm-reference, sfdpot-heuristic, state-transition-test-design, test-execution-checklist, uat-script-author) and 3 agents (charter-coach, session-debrief-coach, test-script-quality-critic). Covers SBTM, Whittaker's seven tours, Bach + Bolton's heuristic catalogues (HICCUPPS-F oracles, SFDPOT variation, FCC CUTS VIDS modelling, CRUSSPIC STMPL quality criteria), UAT, bug bashes, and PROOF debriefs.

qa-test-management

Test case management discipline (pre-execution authoring + lifecycle + traceability): 1 reference skill (test-case-anatomy-reference) + 5 platform case-management skills (testrail-case-management, xray-case-management, zephyr-scale-case-management, allure-testops-case-management, qase-io-case-management) + 1 build skill (traceability-matrix-builder) + 2 agents (test-case-quality-critic, tcm-migration-agent). Distinct from qa-test-reporting's *-integration skills (post-execution result sync); this is pre-execution case authoring + repository management.

qa-defect-management

Defect management discipline (taxonomy, lifecycle, workflows): 3 reference skills (bug-lifecycle-reference, severity-vs-priority-reference, defect-taxonomy-istqb) + 4 platform-workflow skills (jira-bug-workflow-runner, linear-bug-workflow-runner, github-issues-bug-workflow, azuredevops-bug-workflow) + 1 build skill (bug-report-from-failure) + 4 agents (duplicate-defect-finder, bug-report-critic, ci-defect-filer, defect-fix-verifier). Distinct from qa-bug-repro which covers reproduction + clustering + trend narration; this covers triage workflow + taxonomy + severity classification, and closes the lifecycle with post-fix confirmation testing.

qa-bug-repro

Bug reproduction workflow: 1 skill (bug-report-template) and 9 agents (bug-report-from-recording, bug-repro-builder, crash-stack-trace-analyzer, defect-clusterer, defect-pipeline-runner, defect-trend-narrator, escape-defect-analyzer, failure-classifier, test-failure-debugger).

qa-test-reporting

Test reporting + coverage analytics: 15 skills - parsers (junit-xml-analysis, lcov-analysis, cobertura-analysis, allure-reports), build-an-X reporters (coverage-diff-reporter, test-run-summary-author), commercial integrations (extentreports, currents-integration, testrail-integration, xray-integration, zephyr-integration), per-language coverage analyzers (jest-coverage-analysis, jacoco-analysis, coverage-py-analysis), and unit-test-coverage-targeter - plus 2 agents (daily-test-suite-aggregator, release-quality-report-agent).

qa-process

Test process + methodology: 19 skills + 7 agents covering risk-based testing, DoD, test strategy, blameless post-mortems, release readiness, smoke gating, pyramid analysis, TDD coaching, E2E budgets.

qa-test-data

Test data engineering: 17 skills (bogus-data, boundary-value-generator, e2e-test-narrative-builder, factory-bot-data, faker-data, golden-file-conventions, malicious-payload-bank, mimesis-data, mountebank-imposters, msw-handlers, negative-test-generator, parameterized-test-generator, seed-data-curator, synthetic-data-toolkit, synthetic-pii-generator, test-data-patterns, wiremock-stubs) and 3 agents (golden-file-manager, mock-server-composer, test-data-setup-agent).

qa-compatibility

Browser + OS compatibility testing: 5 skills (browser-matrix-runner, browser-matrix-strategy-reference, compatibility-budget, os-matrix-runner, selenium-grid-4-runner) and 1 agent (compatibility-matrix-auditor).
