QA checklists

QA checklist library

These outlines mirror what we hand out on day one. They are not legal advice; adapt wording to your employer’s policies before external audits.

Charter kickoff (15 minutes)

  • Risk statement references a customer journey, not a screen name.
  • Time box is visible on the whiteboard or shared doc.
  • Data sources are labelled (synthetic vs. anonymised production).
  • Note-taker role assigned before exploration begins.

Release readiness desk

  • Contract tests pinned to the same git tag as the container digest.
  • Rollback owner named in the channel topic, not buried in a PDF.
  • Customer communications pre-drafted for top three failure modes.

Browser lab hygiene

  • Devices charged to agreed percentage and labelled with cohort code.
  • VPN profiles removed unless security explicitly extends access.
  • Photos of cable layout uploaded for the next steward.
