Test Plan Gap Resolver

Determine which test plan gaps are resolved by new documentation and analyzer findings, and which gaps remain open.

Invocation

This skill is invoked by /test-plan-update as a forked sub-agent. It receives:

1. Old gaps from TestPlanGaps.md
2. New findings from the three analyzers
3. List of new documents added

Inputs (passed inline in skill arguments)

The parent skill passes:

Old Gaps from TestPlanGaps.md:
## Scope & Endpoints
- <gap_1>
- <gap_2>

## Test Strategy & Risks
- <gap_3>

## Environment & Infrastructure
- <gap_4>
- <gap_5>

New Findings from Analyzers:
- Endpoints: <findings_from_test-plan.analyze.endpoints>
- Risks: <findings_from_test-plan.analyze.risks>
- Infrastructure: <findings_from_test-plan.analyze.infra>

New Documents Added:
- <doc_1_name> (e.g., "API Specification v2.0")
- <doc_2_name> (e.g., "Design Document - Catalog Architecture")

Process

Step 1: Parse Old Gaps

Extract gaps by section:

1. Scope & Endpoints gaps - missing API details, unclear scope, undefined endpoints
2. Test Strategy & Risks gaps - unclear priorities, missing risk mitigations, incomplete NFR assessments
3. Environment & Infrastructure gaps - missing test data specs, unclear dependencies, undefined test users

For each gap, identify what information would resolve it (often stated in the gap itself, e.g., "would be resolved by: API spec").

Step 2: Analyze New Findings for Gap Resolution

For each old gap, check if new analyzer findings or documents address it:

Scope & Endpoints gaps:

• Gap: "Exact endpoint paths not specified"

  • Check if endpoints analyzer now has specific paths (e.g., POST /api/v2/catalog/items)
  • If yes → mark as resolved by endpoints analyzer findings

• Gap: "Expected response format unclear"

  • Check if new documents include API spec with response schemas
  • If yes → mark as resolved by specific document

Test Strategy & Risks gaps:

• Gap: "Priority criteria too generic"

  • Check if risks analyzer now has feature-specific priority definitions
  • If yes → mark as resolved

• Gap: "Missing risk mitigation for database failure"

  • Check if risks analyzer identified mitigation strategy
  • If yes → mark as resolved

Environment & Infrastructure gaps:

• Gap: "Test data schema not defined"
  • Check if infra analyzer or new docs specify test data requirements
  • If yes → mark as resolved

Step 3: Identify New Gaps

Check if new analyzer findings revealed new gaps:

• Endpoints analyzer: new APIs without implementation details?
• Risks analyzer: new risks without mitigations?
• Infra analyzer: new dependencies without version specs?

Add these to the unresolved gaps list.

Step 4: Semantic Matching Logic

Use intelligent matching, not just keyword search:

Example 1: Endpoint gap

• Old gap: "Catalog API endpoint paths not specified"
• New finding: "POST /catalog/items, GET /catalog/items/{id}, DELETE /catalog/items/{id}"
• Match: Both are about catalog API endpoints → RESOLVED

Example 2: Test data gap

• Old gap: "Expected hardware profile name format unclear"
• New finding: "Hardware profiles follow format: hwp-{accelerator}-{memory}-{version} (e.g., hwp-gpu-16g-v1)"
• Match: Both are about hardware profile naming → RESOLVED

Example 3: Partial resolution

• Old gap: "RBAC roles and permissions not specified"
• New finding: "Three roles: admin, developer, viewer"
• Partial match: Roles identified but permissions still missing → PARTIALLY RESOLVED (or keep as gap with note)

Anti-hallucination:

• Only mark gaps as resolved if new information truly addresses them
• If unsure → keep gap open (conservative approach)
• Don't invent resolutions

Step 5: Output Structure

Return structured output for the parent skill:

## Resolved Gaps

### Scope & Endpoints
- ✅ Exact endpoint paths not specified → **Resolved by**: API Specification v2.0 (POST /catalog/items, GET /catalog/items/{id}, DELETE /catalog/items/{id})
- ✅ Expected response format unclear → **Resolved by**: API Specification v2.0 (JSON schema provided)

### Test Strategy & Risks
- ✅ Priority criteria too generic → **Resolved by**: Analyzer findings (feature-specific P0: catalog operations affecting user workflows)

### Environment & Infrastructure
- ✅ Test data schema not defined → **Resolved by**: Design Document (catalog items require: id, name, category, tags array)

## Unresolved Gaps

### Scope & Endpoints
- Cypress test scenarios not specified — **Requires**: ADR / test specification
- Unit test file structure unclear — **Requires**: ADR / test specification

### Test Strategy & Risks
(No unresolved gaps in this section)

### Environment & Infrastructure
- Global namespace constant not confirmed (assumed redhat-ods-applications) — **Requires**: ADR / design doc

## New Gaps Identified

### Scope & Endpoints
- New catalog search API endpoints discovered but query parameter validation rules not specified — **Requires**: API spec addendum

### Environment & Infrastructure
- PostgreSQL version requirement not specified (catalog storage dependency) — **Requires**: infrastructure doc

## Statistics

- **Total gaps before**: 10
- **Gaps resolved**: 4
- **Gaps remaining**: 6
- : 2
 : 8



Open gaps: 8
Resolved gaps: 4
Status: Open (gaps remaining)

What this skill does NOT do

• Does NOT modify TestPlanGaps.md — returns structured output for parent to apply
• Does NOT re-run analyzers — receives their findings as input
• Does NOT fetch new documents — receives document names as context
• Does NOT make assumptions about what resolves gaps — conservative matching only
