Test strategy
Objectives, test levels, roles, entry and exit criteria, and the handling of exceptions are defined.
Testing and test management
Quality control with explicit risks and decisions
Test management connects business objectives, change, coverage and open defects. It provides one view of risk for business teams, delivery and programme leadership.
In this section Test management
Control model
From strategy to release decision
Risk-based planning
Scope and sequence reflect impact, probability, change and existing coverage.
Test design and traceability
Test cases are connected with requirements, processes and risks so that coverage remains reviewable.
Execution and defects
Test cycles, environments, data, blockers and defects receive transparent states and ownership.
Reporting
Reports explain risk, coverage, exceptions and open decisions, rather than only counting executed tests.
Risk model
Priorities with a clear business rationale
A risk matrix is a starting point. Process criticality, change scope, technical dependency and available evidence provide the wider context.
Impact
Financial, operational, regulatory and customer effects are assessed in the context of the programme.
Probability
The type of change, complexity, defect history and technical coupling inform prioritisation.
Evidence gap
Unclear or outdated coverage is made visible as a risk in its own right.
Tool landscape
Process before product
Jira, Zephyr, TestRail, Tosca, SAP Cloud ALM, Azure DevOps and CI systems may form part of the landscape. Integration scope is agreed against the existing setup.
Ownership
Authoritative systems and owners are named for requirements, tests, defects and reports.
State model
States and transitions are aligned across teams and tools.
Decision view
Dashboards and reports are designed around specific release questions.
