Test Effectiveness & Cost of Quality
When high test effort does not translate into enough risk reduction.
The situation
A lot of test effort is not the same as a lot of risk reduction.
Many companies invest considerably in testing, validation and quality assurance. Even so, critical defects are found late, release decisions remain uncertain and the cost of quality keeps rising.
I help companies align test strategy, test priorities and quality assurance rigorously with business risk. Test effort becomes more effective, cost of quality more transparent and release decisions more confident.
Value & outcomes
What you get out of it.
Typical outcomes
- assessment of test effectiveness and test efficiency
- analysis of cost of quality and rework effort
- identification of tests with high and low risk contribution
- risk-based prioritization of test activities
- improved defect detection in earlier phases
- clearer decision bases for release readiness
More effective test investment, optimized cost of quality, fewer late defects, more stable releases and better time to market.
Possible engagements
- Test effectiveness analysis
- Cost of quality review
- Risk-based test strategy
- Improving release readiness
