Overview

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.

Deliverables

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
How it runs

The work in 4 stages

  1. Stage 1: Review the current state

    We study your tests, defect history and how releases happen today.

  2. Stage 2: Score the features

    Each area is rated for impact, complexity and how often it changes.

  3. Stage 3: Draft the plan

    Layer strategy, backlog and release criteria are written up.

  4. Stage 4: Agree together

    A working session with your team settles the final plan.

Fit and inputs

Who it suits, and what we need from you

Ideal for

  • Teams whose tests pass while customers still find defects
  • Companies planning to hire testers without a clear brief
  • Products where deciding to release is mostly a gut call

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
  • Any incident reports from the last six months

You share these through the brief on your order page after checkout.

Why it helps

What changes for your team

  • Automation work goes where failures would cost the most
  • A clear, justified split of what machines test and what people test
  • Releases assessed against written, agreed criteria
Questions

Questions about this service

No, this service delivers the plan. Our browser and contract testing services can then build the highest-priority items from the backlog.

It is even more useful, because it stops you pouring half a year of effort into automating the wrong layer.
