Description
What this service covers
Many teams automate what is simplest rather than what matters, and defects keep slipping through. This service starts from a different question: where would a failure cost you most? We assess your current coverage, order features by risk, and set out a plan across unit, integration, contract and end-to-end testing, including what should stay manual. You also get release entry and exit criteria and defect severity definitions, so the decision to ship follows an agreed bar rather than instinct.
What you receive
- A review of your existing manual and automated test coverage
- A ranking of features by business impact and frequency of change
- A recommended balance of effort across each testing layer
- A prioritised automation backlog with effort estimates
- Exploratory testing charters for areas not worth automating
- Release entry and exit criteria along with defect severity definitions
- Tool suggestions suited to your existing systems and skills

What we need from you
- Access to your test code, defect tracker and release history
- An hour with each of these: one engineer, one tester and one product owner
