Release Notes Test planner – automated test execution planning from release notes

Summary: Release Notes Test Planner is an offline VS Code extension that reads release notes in Markdown, CSV, or XLSX formats, maps them to existing automated tests, and generates a day-by-day test execution plan. It streamlines aligning test coverage with released features by automating the cross-referencing process.

What it does

The extension processes release notes and existing test code within a workspace, then creates detailed execution plans stored in a dedicated folder for review.

Who it's for

It is designed for developers and testers managing automated test coverage based on release documentation.

Why it matters

It reduces manual effort and risk by ensuring test cases align with release notes, preventing untested features from reaching production.
