Exploratory QA

Original name

Original description

First-time-user exploratory QA walkthrough for web apps that FEEDS THE LIFECYCLE. Use when asked to experience an app the way a brand-new human user would — opening it in a real browser or browser automation session, landing cold on the home page, and clicking/typing/selecting through visible controls to find anything confusing, broken, or hard to understand (unclear purpose or audience, human-facing jargon, contextless extracted data, machine-style labels, raw dates/enums, sparse data with no explanation, wrong control semantics, slow or unclear loads, late meaningful content, cramped or cut-off UI, inconsistent/non-standard UX, awkward scroll behavior, unclear affordances, dead-end flows that strand a user — e.g. a login page with no way to register or recover a password, or a primary action that drops the user into an incomplete/unsatisfiable state with no way to finish) across all breakpoints. Static route scans, HTTP fetches, screenshots alone, or console/network checks alone are not sufficient exploratory QA evidence. Instead of writing a report file, it files every finding as a tracked work item via lisa:tracker-write (bugs and usability/UX issues). A `ready` parameter controls whether those tickets are created build-ready (auto-picked-up by lisa:intake) or left in the backlog for human triage (default). For gaps in the automated Playwright test suite, use the e2e-coverage-gaps skill instead.
