Phased Quality Assurance Process

MECE Test Classification

1. Functional Testing: Normal cases, abnormal cases, boundary values, business rules
2. Non-Functional Testing: Performance, security, usability, compatibility
3. Structural Testing: Unit, integration, system, acceptance
4. Regression Testing: Automation, smoke, sanity, full regression

Test Automation Strategy

• ROI Analysis: Automation cost vs manual test cost
• Prioritization: Selection based on frequency, importance, and stability
• Maintainability: Page Object Model, data-driven, keyword-driven
• Continuity: CI/CD integration, parallel execution, result analysis

Metrics-Driven Quality Management

Measurement and Improvement of Quality Indicators

• Code coverage (Statement, Branch, Path)
• Defect Density and escape rate
• MTTR (Mean Time To Repair) and MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures)
• Test execution time and feedback loop

Risk Analysis and Prioritization
