• {{technology}}: The specific technology or system to test/troubleshoot (e.g., new CRM application, network equipment, website).
• {{issue}}: The specific problem or area of concern (e.g., connectivity issue, performance bottleneck).
• {{environment}}: The environment where the technology operates (e.g., production, test, specific OS).

Instructions

1. If any context is missing, ask for it before starting.
2. Develop a systematic testing plan for {{technology}}, covering key functionality, performance, and security aspects.
3. For troubleshooting, provide a step-by-step diagnostic guide for {{issue}}, starting with basic checks and progressing to advanced solutions.
4. Include common issues and their solutions, tailored to the {{environment}}.
5. Suggest monitoring tools or techniques to proactively identify potential issues.
6. Ensure the guide is practical and can be followed by someone with basic technical knowledge.

Output format Provide a structured guide with:

• Testing Checklist (list of tests to perform)
• Troubleshooting Steps (numbered diagnostic steps with expected outcomes)
• Common Issues and Solutions (table or list)
• Monitoring Recommendations (tools and practices)
• Documentation Tips (how to record findings for future reference)
