CQA Quick Start

Continuous QA Quick Start Guide

Start learning a new approach to overall software quality. Continuous QA (CQA) gives regression testing the dedicated process and team it deserves — so quality keeps pace with continuous delivery.

The path

Five steps to Continuous QA

  1. 1

    Admit the problem

    Teams focused on new releases can never adequately cover regression, automation, or test-case maintenance. Recognizing this is the first step toward Continuous QA.

  2. 2

    Dedicate a regression team

    Stand up a separately resourced team that owns all QA assets — test cases, automation coverage, manual regression, the Master Test Suite, and KPIs.

  3. 3

    Make test cases the source of truth

    Consistent, automatable test cases — we like Gherkin — become the foundation. Agile teams write acceptance tests; the regression team extends and maintains coverage.

  4. 4

    Wire the Master Test Suite into CI/CD

    A scalable, reliable suite that can run at any time lets developers see regressions almost immediately — and lets you validate product quality on demand.

  5. 5

    Track KPIs and iterate

    Test cases created, automations written, and manual cases executed per week — clear KPIs make the value visible and the process durable.
