Test strategy and acceptance checks
Review important tasks, known defects and existing coverage. Define inputs, expected results and useful failure cases rather than relying on a count of tests.

Choose the first checks around important behavior and the consequences of failure.
Review important tasks, known defects and existing coverage. Define inputs, expected results and useful failure cases rather than relying on a count of tests.
Add repeatable checks at a suitable level, including browser, API or data boundaries where relevant. Use controlled fixtures and clear failure output.
Investigate behavior that scripted examples may miss. Review realistic interruptions, invalid input, device layouts and relevant access needs.
Record version, environment, steps, expected and actual results. Keep safe examples and distinguish a confirmed defect from an intermittent or uncertain result.
Agree checks, stopping conditions and a controlled live plan. Test records and messages must be isolated or explicitly approved, with coverage limits included in the report.
Discuss a first test scope. For release infrastructure, see DevOps and release engineering.
