3. Implement QA Standards & Tools
🎯 Objective
Translate insights from the review existing QA workflow into standardized processes, tools, and behaviors across all squads, ensuring consistency, improving quality assurance efficiency, and enabling smoother collaboration between QA, Dev, and Product teams.
💯 Output
All QA squads consistently apply the standardized QA workflows, documentation formats, and bug reporting structures. The implementation results in better test coverage, reduced miscommunication, and faster issue resolution. These standards become part of daily QA practices and are continuously improved through feedback.

4. Identify Features Suitable for Test Automation
🎯 Objective
To strategically identify high-impact features or test areas—such as smoke, sanity, and regression scenarios—that are best suited for automation. This helps optimize QA efficiency, reduce repetitive manual efforts, and ensure faster, more reliable releases.
💯 Output
A prioritized list of features or flows ideal for automation, categorized by type (e.g., sanity, smoke, regression). This list becomes the baseline for planning future automation efforts and guides tool selection and resource allocation.

👥 Team Improvement
1. Research and Development
🎯 Objective
To explore, evaluate, and experiment with new tools, frameworks, or methods that can improve QA efficiency, scalability, and test reliability—both in manual and automated processes.
💯 Output
Validated recommendations or prototypes for test case management tools, automation frameworks, or other QA-enabling technologies that can be considered for broader implementation in 2026.
