Test automation
Columns
Feature, risk (high, medium, low), unit, API, end-to-end, exploratory, owner.
Rules of thumb
- High risk features get end-to-end coverage before release.
- Anything tested by hand twice becomes an automation ticket.
- Exploratory sessions are time-boxed (45 minutes) with notes.
