Optimizing Your Testing Team
summary
Technology Enablement sets testing strategy across people, process and tools and compares three concrete org models: centralized, decentralized, hybrid. It recommends starting small, failing fast and pivoting, using a smoke-first automation rule (automate crude CRUD smoke checks, run in pipeline) and a test-as-a-service model that hands regression validation back to devs. Day-to-day work groups into test management, execution and reporting with a target 108010 split (10% management, 80% execution, 10% reporting).
