OKR template to streamline testing process for new features

This engineering 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 key objective of this OKR is to implement a more effective testing process for new features. This includes training all the testing team members on improved, newly-introduced testing procedures. This training will need to be comprehensive, and testing the team's understanding post-training is crucial.

The second part of the OKR focuses on implementing automated testing for a majority of new features. The aim is to automate the testing procedure for 70% of the new features. This will require the development of testing scripts and integrating these tests into the development process.

To further improve efficiency, the third component of the OKR aims to reduce the average feature testing time by a significant 35%. This goal will oblige the implementation of automatic testing for recurrent test scenarios, training the team on efficient strategies, and carrying out regular code reviews for early problem detection.

Lastly, the importance of identifying the new, updated testing procedures and the features viable for automated testing, can't be overlooked. These initiatives are vital in achieving the overall goal, which is to streamline the testing process for new features.

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
