Before code
Check the need, scope, rule, and expected outcome.
QUALITY THROUGHOUT
Testing is a loop through the whole project
Start with a checkable promise. Every correction returns to the failed check and to the behavior it could have affected.
During each change
Review the change. Check the component and its connections.
Before live use
Exercise the full journey, access restrictions, workload, and operating response.
After opening
Observe the service. Investigate failures and use them to improve the next version.
THREE DIFFERENT DECISIONS
A passed test is one piece of the evidence.
Works in a check
The identified version met the stated criterion.
Accepted for its scope
The Client accepted the agreed software outcome.
Ready to open
Live-use protection, coverage, and operating procedures are ready.
Keep the feedback loop open. A pilot can reveal a misunderstood task. Operation can reveal a missing alert. Return to the affected rule, design, implementation, and checks.
