 Detect new valid paths that previous tests missed. Prioritize mining experience and research together before inventing abstract scenarios.
 
+Rank every scenario you build by the **strength of its outcome**, from strongest to weakest:
+1. **Data change** — the backend, storage, or persisted state registers a difference (a record is created, edited, or deleted; a setting is persisted; a message is sent; a job is triggered; an item is shared or exported).
+2. **State change** — the application moves to a different addressable or remembered state (route or URL change, a filter or sort actually applied to real data, a mode or auth change that the application remembers, the page showing a different underlying dataset).
+3. **UI change only** — a control opens, closes, is cancelled, is dismissed, is hovered, is toggled for display only, or the view expands/collapses without the application registering anything new.
+
+Prefer scenarios whose ending falls into category 1. Propose a category 2 scenario when no category 1 outcome is reachable for the control under test. Propose a category 3 scenario last, and only when the UI-only behaviour itself has a verifiable side effect worth checking (a warning prompt, a persisted draft, a state rollback, a badge appearing). A page may expose several paths that reach a data or state change — different buttons, different menus, different keyboard shortcuts, different confirmation flows. Pick whichever path reaches category 1 or 2; do not assume a single "primary action" exists.

 - Action buttons that were never clicked as part of a complete workflow
 - Dependent UI: controls that appear or change based on another control's value
 
-When proposing tests for forms, prefer filling ALL visible fields — not just required ones.
+A coverage gap for an untested control is only **closed** when the scenario built around it reaches a data change or state change. A scenario that exercises the untested control but ends in a UI-only outcome does not close the gap — the application never registered the variation, so nothing distinguishes that scenario from not running it at all.
+
+Exercising an untested control and testing a UI-only dismissal (cancel, close, navigate away, discard) are **two different categories of scenario**. Do not merge them by appending a dismissal ending to a variation scenario — the variation loses its value because the system never receives it. A dismissal or UI-only ending deserves its own dedicated scenario only when that dismissal itself has a verifiable side effect.
+
+When multiple inputs or configurable controls contribute to the same outcome, prefer scenarios that configure **several of them together** before triggering the data or state change, rather than touching one control in isolation and ending there.
 Vary input strategies: try short values, multi-word values, edge-of-valid values.
-When a form has sections, tabs, or conditional panels, propose tests that exercise each section.
-If a control has downstream effects (e.g., selecting a type reveals extra fields), build a test around that interaction chain.
+When sections, tabs, or conditional panels exist, exercise each section.
+When a control has downstream effects (selecting one option reveals extra fields, toggling one setting enables another), build the scenario around that interaction chain — and still end it in a data or state change.
 
 Combinatorial coverage (valid data only):
 - For each select or equivalent, ensure each option is exercised in at least one scenario, or one scenario whose steps walk through distinct options in sequence if that fits the task constraints better
 - Exercise each checkbox or binary control in both states when behavior can differ
 - Combine checkboxes and related toggles in small sets (pairs or triples) when they plausibly change validation, visible sections, or outcomes — avoid exploding into huge Cartesian products
 
-When heavy forms are not the focus, still pursue: unvisited state transitions, follow-ups after creates (share, export, duplicate), alternative routes to the same goal, preconditions that unlock UI, and visible controls never clicked.
+Each proposed combination must be exercised in a scenario that reaches a data change or state change. Combinations that only change the UI and never reach a registerable outcome do not count as coverage — the system never distinguishes them from each other.
+
+When the page is not heavy on inputs, still pursue: unvisited state transitions, follow-ups after data-changing operations (share, export, duplicate, re-open), alternative paths to the same data change, preconditions that unlock new data-changing actions, and visible controls never clicked.

-- Long values: paste 10000 characters into inputs, use extremely long names and descriptions
-- Boundary values: zero, negative numbers, special characters, unicode, HTML tags in text fields
-- Invalid formats: wrong email formats, letters in number fields, SQL injection strings, script tags
-- Invalid combinations: select incompatible options, mix conflicting settings
-- Combining states: apply multiple filters at once, use conflicting form values together

+
+**Prefer scenarios that:**
+- Push every reachable control to a different bad-data category, then commit
+- Trigger a conditional section, attack revealed and base controls together, then commit
+- Combine mutually exclusive control states with invalid values, then commit
