Build-an-X workflow for model-based testing (MBT) per the canonical definition - authors a state-machine model of the SUT (states + transitions + guards + actions), validates the model is connected and complete, and runs the full graph-to-suite pipeline: pick a coverage criterion, generate covering paths, bridge each path into an acceptance-criterion entry ai-test-generator consumes, and assemble the generated tests into a suite file with confidence tiers and a curation note routing to…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# model-based-test-graph-author

## Overview

Per [mbt-wiki][mbt]:

[mbt]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model-based_testing

> "**Model-based testing** is an approach to testing that
> leverages model-based design for designing and possibly executing
> tests. A model typically represents either the desired behavior
> of a system under test or testing strategies themselves."

> "Often the model is translated to or interpreted as a
> finite-state automaton or a state transition system." ([mbt-wiki][mbt])

The state machine is the artifact; test paths are derived from it.
This skill produces the state-machine model (input to MBT tools or
AI test generators).

## When to use

- A complex stateful flow exists (multi-step wizard, checkout
  funnel, onboarding flow, payment state machine).
- Ad-hoc test authoring keeps missing edge cases.
- The team wants exhaustive transition coverage that manual tests
  can't provide.

## How to use

1. **Identify the state space** - list every state and every
   transition (event + guard + action) of one flow. One model per
   flow, never one giant model for the whole app.
2. **Author the model** in a portable YAML format - states carry

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add testland/qa/model-based-test-graph-author@sha256:5bfe64673bfbe159

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260813.099f6f5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
