ES-109 Outputs¶
Purpose¶
This page defines the outputs produced by ES-109 and how they support ES-110.
Required outputs¶
docs/testing/test_strategy.md
docs/testing/test_plan.md
docs/testing/test_cases.md
docs/testing/verification_matrix.md
docs/testing/test_execution_record.md
docs/testing/defect_log.md
docs/testing/guardrail_verification.md
docs/testing/ai_verification_record.md
docs/testing/regression_check_record.md
docs/testing/testing_readiness_summary.md
Output purposes¶
| Output | Purpose | Downstream Use |
|---|---|---|
| Test strategy | Defines verification approach. | Release readiness |
| Test plan | Defines testing execution plan. | Test management |
| Test cases | Defines what will be tested. | Verification execution |
| Verification matrix | Maps tests to requirements and risks. | Release review |
| Test execution record | Records results. | Release evidence |
| Defect log | Records failures and fixes. | Risk and release decisions |
| Guardrail verification | Confirms controls preserved. | Governance and release review |
| AI verification record | Confirms AI boundaries. | AI governance review |
| Regression check record | Confirms baseline stability. | Release readiness |
| Testing readiness summary | States ES-110 readiness. | Release transition |
Optional outputs¶
docs/testing/performance_notes.md
docs/testing/security_test_notes.md
docs/testing/usability_test_notes.md
docs/testing/manual_test_scripts.md
docs/testing/open_testing_questions.md
Create optional outputs only when they clarify real verification evidence.
Output quality checklist¶
Confirm that required artifacts exist, major requirements have verification evidence or visible gaps, guardrails are explicitly verified, AI behavior is verified or not applicable, defects are logged, regression checks are recorded, and readiness for ES-110 is documented.
Common Pitfall
Do not bury untested areas. Untested areas must be visible to release reviewers.
