The Challenge
The Problem: Manual QA Bottlenecks
The QA team faced critical challenges that were slowing down their entire development cycle:
- Manual requirement analysis - Reading through Confluence, Azure DevOps, and Jira documentation took days of manual effort
- Inconsistent test coverage - Different team members interpreted requirements differently, leading to gaps and duplications
- Slow STP creation - Software Test Plans took 2+ weeks to create manually for each release
- No automation roadmap - Test automation efforts were disconnected from requirements, making prioritization impossible
- Azure Test Plan gaps - Test cases were incomplete, poorly structured, and lacked traceability to requirements
- Context switching overhead - QA engineers spent 60% of their time on documentation instead of actual testing
