The Problem
These are not simply testing issues. They indicate that the strategy, governance or structure surrounding the QA function is either missing or misaligned.
The QA HealthCheck identifies precisely where the gaps lie — and provides a clear, prioritised set of actions to address them.
What Is It
The QA HealthCheck is an independent assessment of your QA function. The outcome is not a generic findings report.
It is a clear, prioritised improvement roadmap — outlining what to address, in what order, and why that sequencing matters.
