Catch the bugs customers would see before release.
Reduce bugs found in production from 40 to 15 per month
Raise automated test coverage on critical user flows from 45% to 85%
Cut flaky test rate from 8% to 1%
Customers find bugs before your team does. Focus coverage on critical flows, not overall percentage.
Keep these measures in view as you review progress.
Set your baseline. Check where you are today, then choose targets that stretch your team.
Agree on ownership. Give each key result a clear owner and a source of data.
Check in every week. Review the numbers, share confidence, and decide what needs attention.
