Your QA team is gathering a wealth of data, but does this data translates into actionable insights? Are you leveraging past experiences to enhance your testing and development processes? To ensure that your hard work in QA is recognized and contributes to data-driven decision-making, consider the following steps: ✔️ Utilize machine learning to analyze historical data and identify potential problem areas in new releases. ✔️ Create "risk heat maps" that visually pinpoint sections of the application most likely to have defects. ✔️ Establish a "Quality Forecast" to estimate testing time and anticipate potential issues in upcoming sprints.
