About this template
The OKR focuses on transitioning the software team to unit testing processes. The overarching objective is to incorporate unit testing in all ongoing development projects. The goal is to reach the point where this practice is implemented in 75% of those projects.
Additionally, the OKR aims to yield a significant decrease in post-release bugs thanks to this transition. Specifically, it aims for a 30% reduction. The strategy relies on comprehensive implementation, training developers, and constant review and improvement of unit tests.
The third fold to the objective is ensuring all team members receive comprehensive unit testing training. Individual capability in the practice will ensure the success of the overall transition. The target is aptitude in unit testing from every single team member.
The initiatives supporting these objectives range from project identification and developers' training to course selection and enrolment for the team. These steps are to ensure that the target outcomes in deploying unit testing in projects, minimizing bugs, and ensuring training become a reality.
