About this template
This OKR seeks to increase the automation coverage of manual test cases to 50%. The first objective is to identify and prioritize all manual test cases that can be automated by week 4. This involves cataloging all existing manual test cases, evaluating their automation potential, and prioritizing high-potential cases.
The second objective is to develop and implement automation scripts for 25% of the identified test cases by week 6. Implementing developed automation scripts, identifying the most suitable test cases for automation, and developing scripts for 25% of these identified tests are key for achieving this target.
The final objective is to achieve 50% automation coverage by successfully testing and deploying new scripts by week 12. This requires developing and implementing a detailed automation script plan, deploying the tested scripts by the end of the 12th week, and running comprehensive tests on the new automation scripts.
Successfully reaching these targets will not only reduce manual testing effort, but also improve accuracy, and speed up the testing process by enabling tests to run unattended on any scheduled time.
