Guides for teams that test before they ship
Clear definitions, worked examples and the exact formulas behind good QA metrics. Each guide starts with a short answer.
What is test management?
Test management is the practice of planning, writing, executing and reporting on software tests so a team knows what was tested, what passed and whether a release is ready. A test management tool stores test cases, organises them into runs, records every result and links tests to requirements and defects.
Read · 8 minRequirements traceability matrix: what it is and how to build one
A requirements traceability matrix (RTM) is a table that maps every requirement to the test cases that verify it, the latest result of each test and any open defects. It answers two questions before a release: is every requirement tested, and is every tested requirement passing?
Read · 7 minRelease readiness: six checks that tell you if a build can ship
A build is ready to release when explicit, agreed checks all pass: the right test runs are in scope, enough of them are executed, the pass rate meets your bar, no critical tests are failing or blocked, open critical defects are within your limit and enough requirements are verified with none failing.
Read · 7 minFlaky tests: how to detect, measure and fix them
A flaky test is one that passes and fails on the same code without a relevant change. Measure flakiness from history: count how often a test's outcome flips between pass and fail across its recent decisive results, divide by the number of decisive results minus one, and investigate tests that score above about 0.3.
Read · 7 minRisk-based testing: prioritise the tests that matter most
Risk-based testing means running the tests most likely to find important problems first. A practical score adds points for business priority, a recent failure, changes since the last run, never having been run, a failing linked requirement and flakiness; you then run cases from the highest score down until time runs out.
