About this template

This OKR aims to create and effectively apply a test automation approach to the organization's software development process. Its main goal is to reduce by 40% the manual testing effort through the use of tailored automated scripts. This entails the recognition of repetitive manual testing processes, the creation and successful application of custom scripts, and the regular assessment of the scripts' efficacy.

Another objective of this OKR is automating 70% of all existing, repetitive tests without compromising their accuracy. Before this is possible, it is necessary to catalog all these repetitive tests and to identify what automation tools will be utilized for them. The automation processes can then be executed, evaluated, and adapted as needed.

The final objective under this OKR involves the use of enhanced automated testing to bring about a 30% reduction in software bugs and glitches. The initiatives for this objective involve the regular evaluation and refinement of testing protocols, the provision of advanced automated testing training for developers, and the implementation of robust automated testing methods.

By doing so, the OKR aims to streamline the testing process, reduce errors, and improve the overall efficiency of the development process, contributing to greater productivity and a higher quality of software developed by the company.
