Test strategy workshop

A focused working session that locks release risk priorities and decides what must be automated, sampled, or left manual.

Purpose

When automation debates stall in Slack threads, a structured test strategy workshop puts product, QA, and engineering in one room with a shared risk board. You leave with a ranked set of checks tied to customer journeys—not a generic “pyramid” poster.

Included

  • Pre-read questionnaire (30 minutes of prep per attendee)
  • Facilitated risk ranking and journey mapping
  • Decision log: automate / sample / monitor / accept
  • One-page strategy summary for stakeholders

Not included

Writing the tests themselves or configuring CI runners. Pair this with framework planning when the suite structure still needs a spine.
