OKR template to increase test automation percentage to 80%

This operations 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

This OKR focuses on enhancing testing efficiency through automation, with the goal of reaching an 80% automation rate. In the first month, the aim is to roll out 60% of automation tests, which involves developing scripts, identifying key tests appropriate for automation, and implementing and validating the automated tests.

In the continuity of this process, improvements should not cease after reaching milestone. Rather, the team needs to strive for reaching 80% test automation by the end of the OKR period, a task that includes identifying vital functionalities requiring automated testing and regularly reviewing and troubleshooting test results.

As the process progresses, it's also essential to maintain adequate coverage of testing. The objective of the OKR is to achieve a 70% coverage using automation by the end of the second month. This coverage is ensured by strategic development, implementation, and regular reviews of automated testing strategies.

Finally, the availability of comprehensive automated test coverage guarantees more accurate results and a reliable system. Identifying areas lacking sufficient coverage and improving them will contribute to reaching the goal of an 80% automated testing environment.

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
