Test Strategy

Design a complete testing strategy for any project: choose the right model, set meaningful coverage targets, shift quality left, and plan non-functional testing.

When to Activate

• Starting a new project and deciding on a testing approach
• Auditing an existing test suite that is slow or provides low confidence
• Writing a QA plan or test plan document
• Deciding how to balance unit vs integration vs E2E tests for a feature
• Setting coverage targets for a team or project
• Planning non-functional testing (load, security, accessibility)

Testing Models

Choosing the right testing model is the first decision. Each reflects a different philosophy about where confidence comes from.
