BEFORE IMPROVEMENT:
- An application was unstable, undocumented, and defective with lots of critical and major bugs.
- Many of the feature stories were incomplete and with missing and ambiguous acceptance criteria.
- There was a lack of test documentation.
- Test cases didn’t cover the major application areas.
- QA team members didn’t possess the necessary automation skills.
- Test efforts lacked a structure for automation.
- There were no automated tests.
- QA engineers were not involved in planning or scoping and testing was often an afterthought.
- Lack of testing knowledge and poor test patterns led to an unstable testing culture.
- Testing was isolated to individual QA members.
- Testers documented and scripted tests in their own separate repository.
- Bug reports were incomplete and missing steps.
- Insufficient security testing.
- Inconsistent and long release cycles.
- Limited test environments and infrastructure.
- Understanding of agile and DevOps varied.
- Continuous integration was a struggle.
- Limited experience in agile ceremonies.
