# Enhanced Development Workflow
|
|
|
|
This is a simple step-by-step guide to help you efficiently manage your development workflow using the BMad Method. Refer to the **[<ins>User Guide</ins>](user-guide.md)** for any scenario that is not covered here.
|
|
|
|
## Create new Branch
|
|
|
|
1. **Start new branch**
|
|
|
|
## Story Creation (Scrum Master)
|
|
|
|
1. **Start new chat/conversation**
|
|
2. **Load SM agent**
|
|
3. **Execute**: `*draft` (runs create-next-story task)
|
|
4. **Review generated story** in `docs/stories/`
|
|
5. **Update status**: Change from "Draft" to "Approved"
|
|
|
|
## Story Implementation (Developer)
|
|
|
|
1. **Start new chat/conversation**
|
|
2. **Load Dev agent**
|
|
3. **Execute**: `*develop-story {selected-story}` (runs execute-checklist task)
|
|
4. **Review generated report** in `{selected-story}`
|
|
|
|
## Test Architect Integration Throughout Workflow
|
|
|
|
### Stage 1: After Story Creation (Before Dev Starts)
|
|
|
|
**Optional but Valuable - Set Dev Up for Success:**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Design test strategy for developer
|
|
@qa *design {approved-story}
|
|
# Output: docs/qa/assessments/{epic}.{story}-test-design-{YYYYMMDD}.md
|
|
# Why: Gives Dev clear test requirements upfront
|
|
|
|
# Identify risks to watch for
|
|
@qa *risk {approved-story}
|
|
# Output: docs/qa/assessments/{epic}.{story}-risk-{YYYYMMDD}.md
|
|
# Why: Helps Dev avoid critical issues and focus on risk areas
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Stage 2: During Development (Optional Checkpoints)
|
|
|
|
**Dev Can Self-Check Progress:**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Validate NFRs mid-implementation
|
|
@qa *nfr {story-in-progress}
|
|
# Output: docs/qa/assessments/{epic}.{story}-nfr-{YYYYMMDD}.md
|
|
# Why: Catch performance/security issues early
|
|
|
|
# Verify test coverage while developing
|
|
@qa *trace {story-in-progress}
|
|
# Output: docs/qa/assessments/{epic}.{story}-trace-{YYYYMMDD}.md
|
|
# Why: Ensure you're writing the right tests
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Stage 3: Story Review (Required)
|
|
|
|
**Standard Review Flow:**
|
|
|
|
1. **Start new chat/conversation**
|
|
2. **Load QA agent** (Test Architect - Quinn)
|
|
3. **Execute**: `@qa *review {selected-story}`
|
|
4. **Review outputs**:
|
|
- QA Results section added to story file
|
|
- Quality gate file in `docs/qa/gates/{epic}.{story}-{slug}.yml`
|
|
|
|
**If Issues Found:**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# After fixes, update gate status
|
|
@qa *gate {reviewed-story}
|
|
# Output: Updates docs/qa/gates/{epic}.{story}-{slug}.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Special Situations
|
|
|
|
**High-Risk Stories or Brownfield:**
|
|
|
|
- Always run `*risk` and `*design` before development
|
|
- Extra focus on regression testing
|
|
|
|
**Complex Integrations:**
|
|
|
|
- Run `*trace` to ensure all integration points tested
|
|
- Consider `*nfr` for performance validation
|
|
|
|
**Performance-Critical Features:**
|
|
|
|
- Run `*nfr` during development, not just at review
|
|
- Set performance baselines early
|
|
|
|
### Understanding Gate Decisions
|
|
|
|
- **PASS**: Ready for production, all quality criteria met
|
|
- **CONCERNS**: Non-critical issues to review with team
|
|
- **FAIL**: Critical issues must be fixed (security, missing tests)
|
|
- **WAIVED**: Known issues accepted by team with documentation
|
|
|
|
### What Quinn Does During Review
|
|
|
|
1. **Analyzes code quality** and architecture patterns
|
|
2. **Actively refactors** code when safe to do so
|
|
3. **Validates test coverage** at appropriate levels
|
|
4. **Identifies risks** (security, performance, data)
|
|
5. **Checks NFRs** against standards
|
|
6. **Creates quality gate** with clear decision criteria
|
|
7. **Documents everything** for audit trail
|
|
|
|
## Commit Changes and Push
|
|
|
|
1. **Commit changes**
|
|
2. **Push to remote**
|
|
|
|
## Repeat Until Complete
|
|
|
|
- **SM**: Create next story → Review → Approve
|
|
- **Dev**: Implement story → Complete → Mark Ready for Review
|
|
- **QA**: Review story → Mark done
|
|
- **Commit**: All changes
|
|
- **Push**: To remote
|
|
- **Continue**: Until all features implemented
|
