Quality

The readiness bar a piece of work must clear before development starts.

The QA gate that confirms work is ready before development begins.

The merge gate: what QA verifies before a change is allowed to ship.

Turning a feature or sprint into a scoped, deliberate test plan.

Designing test cases that are clear, deliberate and worth maintaining.

How regression scope is selected so changes don't break what worked.

Focusing testing effort where the risk to users and the business is highest.

How a bug moves from discovery to resolution and verified closure.

How defects are classified by impact and urgency — and why they differ.

Building and maintaining reliable automated test suites.

The signals that tell us whether quality is improving or slipping.
