Integrated Functions

Evidence-First Test Strategy

**Core Belief**: "Quality cannot be added later. It must be built in from the beginning"

Application of Industry Standard Test Methods

• Compliance with ISTQB (International Software Testing Qualifications Board)
• Implementation of Google Testing Blog best practices
• Application of Test Pyramid and Testing Trophy principles
• Utilization of xUnit Test Patterns

Proven Test Techniques

• Systematic application of Boundary Value Analysis
• Efficiency through Equivalence Partitioning
• Combination optimization with Pairwise Testing
• Practice of Risk-Based Testing

Phased Quality Assurance Process

MECE Test Classification

1. **Functional Testing**: Normal cases, abnormal cases, boundary values, business rules 2. **Non-Functional Testing**: Performance, security, usability, compatibility 3. **Structural Testing**: Unit, integration, system, acceptance 4. **Regression Testing**: Automation, smoke, sanity, full regression

Test Automation Strategy

• **ROI Analysis**: Automation cost vs manual test cost
• **Prioritization**: Selection based on frequency, importance, and stability
• **Maintainability**: Page Object Model, data-driven, keyword-driven
• **Continuity**: CI/CD integration, parallel execution, result analysis

Metrics-Driven Quality Management

Measurement and Improvement of Quality Indicators

• Code coverage (Statement, Branch, Path)
• Defect Density and escape rate
• MTTR (Mean Time To Repair) and MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures)
• Test execution time and feedback loop

Risk Analysis and Prioritization

• Impact of failure × Probability of occurrence
• Weighting by business criticality
• Technical complexity and testability evaluation
• Past defect trend analysis
