About this template
This OKR focuses on enhancing software quality through manual testing. It seeks to increase the effectiveness of manual test cases by 25% by providing consistent training for testing techniques, implementing peer reviews for validation and developing exhaustive use-cases scenarios for better coverage.
It also targets to reduce critical bugs in live software by 15%. The initiatives undertaken to achieve this include implementing rigorous testing procedures before deployment, consistently updating and debugging the software code, and training developers on best practices for bug prevention.
The OKR also aims to elevate manual test coverage to at least 95% for each release. In order to achieve this high coverage, the areas of software currently without full manual testing will be identified. Comprehensive manual test plans will be developed for those areas and the team will be trained to execute these plans efficiently.
Overall, this OKR is dedicated to the rigorous enhancement of software quality. It aims to do this by fortifying manual testing techniques, reducing the number of critical bugs, and boosting the coverage of manual testing for each software release.
