Startup QA Readiness Checklist: Stop Firefighting
Your product is growing. Your bugs are multiplying faster. This 30-day framework transforms testing chaos into a systematic process — without hiring a QA team.
Track what actually matters: production bugs, developer time wasted on fixes, and revenue lost to quality issues. Includes worksheets for cost calculation, critical path mapping, and realistic timelines. Built for startups where “we’ll test it later” has already backfired.
What you get:
- Week-by-week implementation plan with specific daily tasks (no vague “improve quality” nonsense);
- Testing Reality Check worksheet: calculate actual cost of bugs in developer time and lost revenue;
- Revenue-Critical Paths mapping template to identify what absolutely cannot break;
- A 7-point “Red Flag” self-assessment to identify immediate risks;
- Time and cost tracking templates to build your business case for proper testing;
- Expert recommendations on when to automate vs. keep manual testing.
