- Why actual QA effort was more than planned?
- Why are we exceeding from number QA cycles planned in the project plan?
- Why do we need to do so much testing for few changes done to the code?
- Why are we still doing unit level tests at system level tests?
- What can we do to test cases attributes to qualify which helps us to decide on priority, during test execution cycle?
- How many defects logged are not traced to test cases? What are we doing about this?
- What risks were anticipated during test plan? How they were mitigated?
I feel these can be addressed better with focus on following:
- Good test case architecture where all levels of test cases fit and with right set of attributes defined helps test case selection on need basis
- Quality gates or levels of testing better defined with defect types to be uncovered as focus than use same old Unit, Integration and System testing as levels of tests
- Introduce escape tracking at each quality gate
- Define criteria to move testing from one level to another level and improve the definition continuously
- Introduce better tracking report to look at progress aspects, cleanliness aspects, test coverage aspects
- User lessons learnt and fix the gaps for future cycles of testing
- Use defect centered activity breakdown during planning phase
