# TestIO MCP Showcase Strategy

## Executive Summary
The goal of the TestIO MCP Showcase is to demonstrate not just access to data, but the ability to **synthesize, interpret, prepare, present, and act** on that data. The core differentiator is the "Context-Aware" nature of the server, where the AI uses expert domain knowledge (provided via MCP Resources) to interpret raw API metrics.

## The Core Challenge: The "Context Gap"
Raw data from the API (e.g., "72% Acceptance Rate") is not actionable without context.
*   **The Gap:** Users don't know if 72% is good, bad, or typical for their specific product type.
*   **The Solution:** **Context-Aware MCP**. We will expose "Expert Knowledge" as an MCP Resource (`testio://knowledge/playbook`), allowing the AI to ground its analysis in official CSM guidelines.

## Showcase Scenarios

### 1. The "Vibe Coding" Workflow (Speed & Synthesis)
*   **Concept:** Zero-to-Insight in seconds.
*   **Demo:** "I have a QBR with the client tomorrow. How has the quality trended for 'Affinity Studio' over the last 90 days? Focus on critical functional bugs and acceptance rates."
*   **Wow Factor:** The AI aggregates data that would take a human 30+ minutes to compile manually.

### 2. The "Release Gatekeeper" (Actionability)
*   **Concept:** Decision support for release managers.
*   **Demo:** "We are planning to release v2.4. Are there any blocking critical bugs in the active tests? If yes, list them with steps to reproduce."
*   **Wow Factor:** Turns "reporting" into "decision making."

### 3. Comparative Analytics (Intelligence)
*   **Concept:** Cross-referencing data sets.
*   **Demo:** "Compare the bug acceptance rate of 'Mobile App' vs 'Web App' for Q4. Which platform has higher quality?"
*   **Wow Factor:** Performs analysis that is difficult or impossible in the standard UI.

### 4. The "Bug Triage Assistant" (Automation)
*   **Concept:** Automating tedious workflows.
*   **Demo:** "Find all 'visual' bugs from the last 5 tests that haven't been exported yet. Format them as a checklist for me to review."
*   **Wow Factor:** Solves a specific, high-friction pain point for CSMs.

### 5. "Live" Dashboard Generation (Integration)
*   **Concept:** Visualizing data on the fly.
*   **Demo:** "Generate a Q3 Quality Report and visualize the bug severity breakdown as a mermaid chart."
*   **Wow Factor:** Produces immediate, visual artifacts.

## Implementation Strategy: The "Expert Analyst"
To achieve the "Context-Aware" vision, we will implement **Option A: MCP Resources**.

1.  **Create a Knowledge Base:** A robust markdown file (`docs/resources/business_context.md`) containing definitions, benchmarks, triage protocols, and stakeholder personas.
2.  **Expose via MCP:** The server will serve this file as a resource (`testio://knowledge/business-context`).
3.  **Prompting:** The AI will be encouraged (via system prompt or tool description) to "consult the playbook" when analyzing data.
