Does it help with edge cases and error handling?

Yes, the skill specifically includes patterns for negative assertions, boundary conditions, and unauthorized access scenarios to ensure robust coverage.

What is the Given-When-Then format?

It is a template used in Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) to describe a system's behavior: 'Given' sets the context, 'When' defines the action, and 'Then' describes the expected result.

Can I use the output for automated testing?

Yes, the criteria are authored in Gherkin-compatible formats that can be directly used in automation frameworks like Cucumber, SpecFlow, or Playwright.

How does this skill support INVEST principles?

The skill provides a framework to ensure user stories are Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimable, Small, and Testable before criteria are authored.
