Test Governance & Management

Driving Efficiency and Accountability in Your Testing Process

At Zanoo, we recognise that effective software testing isn’t just about running tests — it’s about having a solid strategy and governance framework in place to guide the process. Our Test Governance and Management solutions ensure your testing efforts are aligned with business objectives, delivering high-quality results while optimising resources and timelines.

With the right leadership and structure, your testing becomes more efficient, accountable, and scalable.

What is

Test Governance and Management?

Test Governance and Management is the strategic direction and oversight of the testing process. It involves defining policies, procedures, and best practices to ensure testing is executed in a consistent, controlled, and efficient manner. This framework ensures alignment with business goals, promotes accountability, and drives continuous improvement across all testing activities. By providing clear direction, management support, and transparent progress reporting, you can ensure your testing efforts contribute to overall project success.

Our Test Governance Framework is a suite of predefined testing rules, processes, tools and artefacts. This framework enables us to stand up a testing function rapidly and with vigour. Developed over multiple client engagements and refined to mitigate those often-encountered project obstacles, we tailor our framework for each client purpose to ensure maximum relevance and effectiveness.

Risk-Based Testing

In the eventuality of testing timescales being more compressed than desired, we can prioritise testing based on the criticality of different components and potential business risks. With risk-based testing, we focus on the areas that matter most, minimising risk exposure and ensuring that essential features are thoroughly validated.

Align Testing with Business Objectives

A strong governance framework ensures that testing activities directly support your business goals, and aids in the delivery of the project to time and budget. In turn, this leads to a higher return on investment and more meaningful outcomes.

Boost Efficiency & Reduce Costs

Effective management reduces duplication of efforts and streamlines workflows, resulting in a faster, more efficient testing process that saves both time and resources.

Enhance Quality & Accountability

With clear roles, responsibilities, and reporting structures in place, the testing process becomes more accountable. This ensures greater attention to detail, better adherence to standards, and improved overall quality.

Mitigate Risks

A well-governed testing process helps identify and mitigate risks early, preventing critical issues from affecting project timelines or product quality.
