Where it matters
Changes ship faster than the team can verify them, regressions recur, or an AI feature has no repeatable quality threshold.
What this discipline brings
- Tests focused on critical user and operator paths
- AI evaluations for representative tasks and failure cases
- Performance and recovery checks at expected load
- Release gates that produce actionable evidence, not just a passing badge
Verification is a thread through all three engagements. The test strategy follows system risk rather than a universal coverage target.
