About industry

At QO-BOX, our QA Gap Analysis is designed to be more than a checklist — it's a strategic launchpad for transforming your QA maturity, tooling, and test coverage into business value.

Implementation Phases

Phase 1: Discovery & Stakeholder Mapping

Engage cross-functional teams to understand QA pain points. Identify expectations from business, dev, ops, and QA teams. Map current QA roles, responsibilities, and tool landscape.

Deliverables: Stakeholder Matrix, Engagement Summary, Current State Snapshot

Phase 2: QA Process & STLC Assessment

Analyze current QA lifecycle alignment with industry best practices. Evaluate in test planning, execution, and reporting. Review documentation, compliance, and governance touchpoints.

Deliverables: STLC Alignment Report, Process Maturity Matrix, Compliance Checklist

Phase 3: Testing Coverage & Automation Review

Assess testing depth across unit, integration, system, UAT levels. Identify missed validations (boundary, null, business logic, etc.). Review automation footprint across UI, API, mobile, ETL, and batch jobs.

Deliverables: Coverage Map, Automation Gap Report, Validation Summary

Phase 4: Tooling & Technology Landscape Audit

Inventory tools across automation, performance, CI/CD, security. Identify integration gaps and version control issues. Evaluate environment readiness and pipeline alignment.

Deliverables: Tool Landscape Diagram, Integration Gap Report, CI/CD Readiness Checklist

Phase 5: Metrics & Quality Indicator Analysis

Analyze defect leakage, release stability, test pass/fail trends. Assess bug backlog, test velocity, and regression cycle health. Identify performance and security indicator gaps.

Deliverables: Metrics Dashboard, Quality Trend Reports, Health Check Scorecard

Phase 6: Gap Categorization & Root Cause Analysis

Categorize gaps under People, Process, Tools, and Coverage. Apply Fishbone/5 Whys to isolate root causes. Map severity and business impact to focus remediation efforts.

Deliverables: Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Gap Heatmap, Categorization Log

Phase 7: Recommendation Roadmap

Prioritize fixes by impact and implementation effort. Identify short-term wins and long-term transformation items. Align fixes with quarterly business milestones.

Deliverables: Remediation Roadmap, Quick Wins List, Strategic QA Priorities (Q1–Q4)

Phase 8: Strategic QA Planning & Governance

Sync QA strategy with sprint cycles and product goals. Plan for CI/CD integration, NFR ownership, and automation expansion. Enable tooling governance and centralized QA documentation.

Deliverables: Quarterly QA Strategy, Tooling Governance Framework, QA SOP Repository
