What it does
The skill analyzes product changes, risk, user behavior, integrations, and known weaknesses; creates structured exploratory sessions; guides testers toward high-value investigation; and produces reporting and follow-up criteria.
What is included
- Risk and mission definition
- Testing charters
- Persona and workflow coverage
- Data and environment needs
- Heuristics and attack ideas
