The problem this solves
When many teams use different QA practices, leaders need a consistent way to understand capability, compare strengths and gaps, and prioritize enterprise improvement.
Assessment dimensions
- Requirements & traceability
- Test strategy
- Automation
- CI/CD
- Code quality
- Architecture/testability
- Deployment/monitoring
- Ownership
- Metrics
- Continuous improvement
How scoring works
| Level | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| 1 — Ad hoc | Practices depend on individuals. |
| 2 — Repeatable | Some consistent team practices exist. |
| 3 — Defined | Standards and ownership are established. |
| 4 — Measured | Metrics drive decisions and improvement. |
| 5 — Optimized | Quality improvement is systematic and adaptive. |
Evidence matters
AskAQA can combine self-assessment, interviews, team comments, and artifact evidence such as test plans, pipelines, automation results, dashboards, and release records.
Typical deliverables
- Team maturity scorecards
- Cross-team comparison
- Strengths
- Improvement opportunities
- Evidence-based recommendations
- Enterprise improvement roadmap
Expected outcomes
The objective is not a higher score. The objective is an evidence-based improvement plan that produces stronger quality capability.
