Product Feature Validation Skill

This skill helps validate ITSM product features against requirements, check feature completeness, and identify missing functionality or issues that affect product quality.

Feature Validation Framework

Core Modules to Validate

1. Ticket Management - CRUD operations, lifecycle, assignments
2. Incident Management - Incident creation, escalation, resolution
3. Problem Management - Problem investigation, root cause analysis
4. Change Management - Change requests, approvals, implementation
5. Service Catalog - Service requests, catalog management
6. CMDB - Configuration items, relationships, discovery
7. SLA Management - SLA definitions, monitoring, violations
8. Workflow Engine - Business process automation, approvals
9. Knowledge Base - Article creation, search, management
10. User Management - Authentication, authorization, roles
11. Dashboard & Analytics - Reporting, metrics, visualization
12. Notifications - Email, SMS, in-app notifications

Feature Testing Scenarios

Scenario 1: End-to-End Ticket Lifecycle

1. Create ticket as end user
2. Verify ticket appears in list
3. Assign ticket to agent
4. Add comments and attachments
5. Change status through workflow
6. Resolve and close ticket
7. Verify notifications sent
8. Check audit trail

Scenario 2: SLA Breach Handling

1. Create high-priority ticket
2. Set aggressive SLA (e.g., 1 hour)
3. Wait for SLA breach
4. Verify breach notifications
5. Check escalation triggered
6. Verify SLA metrics updated

Scenario 3: Multi-User Collaboration

1. User A creates ticket
2. User B adds comment
3. User C assigns ticket
4. User D changes status
5. Verify all users see updates
6. Check notification delivery

Common Feature Issues

Issue	Symptoms	Impact	Solution
Missing field validation	Can submit invalid data	Data quality issues	Add frontend and backend validation
Broken workflow transitions	Status changes don't work	Process disruption	Fix workflow engine logic
Failed notifications	Users don't receive alerts	Communication gaps	Check notification service
Slow page loading	>3 second load times	Poor user experience	Optimize queries and caching
Missing permissions	Users can access unauthorized data	Security risk	Implement proper authorization
Data inconsistency	Different data in different views	User confusion	Fix data synchronization

Validation Tools

Automated Testing

# Run all tests
cd itsm-backend && go test ./...
cd itsm-frontend && npm test
cd tests && python -m pytest

# Run specific feature tests
go test ./service -run TestTicketService
npm test -- --testNamePattern="Ticket"
python -m pytest tests/e2e/test_tickets_full.py
