OKR template to increase test automation coverage to 80%

This leadership OKR template is a strong starting point for teams that need better alignment, clearer priorities, and more disciplined goal tracking.

Use it to turn a business priority into a measurable objective, then review progress weekly so your team can adjust execution before the quarter gets away from you.

Your OKR template

The OKR aims to increase test automation coverage to 80%. To achieve this, the plan is to develop and implement an additional 20% of automated tests per month, identify areas that need more automated tests, integrate these tests into the existing system, then write and validate new automations.

The management also intends to preserve a less than 5% failure rate in automated tests. Team training on test creation will be continuous, a strict quality assurance process will be implemented, and the automated tests will be reviewed and updated regularly to achieve this second objective.

Improving the average test execution time by 15% is another objective under the same OKR. To attain this, the team will implement more effective test optimization strategies, upgrade server hardware for enhanced processing power, and train staff in efficient testing procedures.

In a nutshell, this OKR aims at enhancing the quality, effectiveness, and speed of automated tests in order to ensure the product's optimum performance, error detection, rapid development, and reliable delivery.

Make these OKRs fit your team

Treat this template as a starting point. Keep the outcomes that match your priorities, adjust the targets and deadlines to reflect your baseline, and remove anything your team cannot influence directly.

Adapt the template or create a plan with AI

You can copy this example into Tability and refine it with your team. If you would rather start from your own context, use embedded AI Mode: describe what your team needs to achieve in a simple prompt and Tability will automatically create a structured OKR plan with objectives, measurable outcomes, and initiatives.

Before publishing, review the AI-generated plan with the people responsible for delivering it:

  • Replace generic outcomes with measures your team can update consistently
  • Set ambitious but credible targets using current performance as the baseline
  • Assign an owner to every outcome and agree on what success looks like
  • Remove duplicate or activity-based key results that do not prove meaningful progress

The best OKR platform for AI-bullish teams

Tability brings AI into the goal-setting and execution workflow instead of treating it as a separate writing assistant.

  • Fully agentic: use an OKR agent to review plans, suggest improvements, and monitor execution
  • Embedded AI Mode: create and refine goals without leaving the planning workflow
  • MCP server: talk to your OKRs from Claude, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible LLM clients

You have a plan. Now what?

Publishing the plan is the beginning of the work. Tability gives teams a simple weekly rhythm for updating outcomes, discussing confidence, and acting on problems while there is still time to change the result.

  • Track progress: collect focused weekly check-ins and sync updates from tools such as Jira, ClickUp, Linear, and Asana
  • Detect problems early: use confidence, status, and agent monitoring to surface stalled or at-risk outcomes before the end of the quarter
  • Communicate clearly: share dashboards and reports that explain what changed, where help is needed, and what happens next
