Textum Workflow v3 - Simulation Test Report
Model: Claude Opus 4.5
Test Date: 2026-01-06
Test Scenario: Zero programming background user → Personal expense tracking app (30 medium-complexity requirements)
Test Scope: Full workflow (Phase 1a ~ Phase 6)
Verify whether Textum PRD → Story workflow (v3) can:
Guide zero-background users from vague requirements to structured PRD
Ensure output quality through multi-phase gates
Final code implementation meets user expectations
Initial requirement: "I want to make an expense tracking app for personal use"
Target feature points: 30 medium-complexity requirements
Special constraints: No backend API (local SQLite)

5. Failure Points and Problem Analysis

#

Impact
Resolution
F-001
3a/split-plan
Initial plan Story 1 contains 8 tables
Triggered tbl_refs≥4 FAIL
Re-plan and split
Root Cause Analysis :
/split-plan phase has no built-in "threshold estimation" logic
Planner tends to combine "database initialization" as a single Story
Requires manual re-planning after being caught by /split-check

6. Test Coverage Limitations
Limitation
Description
No-API scenario only
This test only covers local SQLite scenario; API coverage/unique ownership logic not verified
Single user role
Permission matrix only tests single role; multi-role scenarios not covered
Simulated execution
Code is simulated generation, not compiled/run in real environment
No boundary testing
Only tests normal paths; error handling and edge cases not stress-tested

Yes (intercepted 1 FAIL)
Major defects
None
Re-planning required
Yes (1 time)
The workflow successfully guided vague requirements ("personal expense tracking app") into 30 structured feature points and generated corresponding code implementations. /split-check gate effectively intercepted an oversized Story, forcing re-planning.
What worked well :
Multi-phase gates intercept issues before propagation
No-API constraints consistently executed throughout workflow
exec-pack mechanism prevents hallucinations from generating content outside pack
Areas for improvement :
Initial Story planning produced an oversized Story (8 tables), requiring re-planning
/prd-plan terminology may need more accessible wording for truly zero-background users
