Test Sprint
A short, focused testing cycle, run by agents in parallel, before moving forward.
In one sentence
A short, focused cycle of creating and executing tests on the system, usually run by agents in parallel, to increase coverage and find regressions before moving forward.
Before
Unknown coverage
What it does
Short parallel testing cycle
After
Failures found before moving forward
Example
Before increasing the level of autonomy, two days in which agents in parallel generated test cases around the edges of the system: rare language, empty report, child with two records, illegible photo.
Fourteen failures appeared that the 200-card suite did not catch.
In practice
- Schedule it. A test sprint set for “when there’s spare time” never happens.
- Focus on the edges: rare language, empty field, duplicate, contradictory data.
- Every failure found becomes a permanent case in the answer key.
How to make it tangible
A scheduled block of time in which agents generate test cases around the edges of the system.
