Test strategy consulting that aligns QA with the business
Most teams don't have a test strategy so much as a set of habits nobody wrote down. GoGreenlit runs a focused engagement to document what gets tested, why, and by whom, sized to actually get used instead of shelved.
A test strategy is not a test plan
Teams that confuse the two end up rewriting the same decisions every single release.
A test plan
- Scoped to a single release or feature
- Rewritten from scratch every cycle
- Answers "what are we testing this sprint"
A test strategy
- Set once at the organizational level, revisited quarterly
- Reused as the basis for every test plan that follows
- Answers "what do we test, and why, as a rule"
What a strategy that actually gets used includes
Six components, kept short enough to fit in two to four pages, not a document that gets written once and never opened again.
How a strategy engagement runs
- 1
Discovery workshop
A working session with engineering and product to surface what's actually being tested today, and where the gaps are.
- 2
Current-state audit
A review of existing test cases, defect history, and release process against the risk areas surfaced in discovery.
- 3
Strategy draft
A two to four page strategy document. Short enough that your team will actually read and follow it.
- 4
Review and handoff
A working session to pressure-test the draft with your team, then finalize it alongside a 90-day implementation roadmap.
What you get from the engagement
Strategy document
Two to four pages: scope, risk model, ownership, and tooling decisions, sized to actually get read.
90-day roadmap
A prioritized, sequenced plan for closing the gaps the audit surfaced.
Templates
Reusable templates for test cases, test plans, defect reports, and coverage reporting.
