Quality Assurance (QA) ensures your product works as expected, every time. It’s not just about finding bugs—it’s about preventing them, ensuring performance, and protecting the user experience.

‍

But when QA starts failing, it shows. Here are 5 red flags:

‍

1. Users Are Reporting Bugs Before QA Finds Them


🐞 Your test coverage may be too shallow. Prioritize key user flows and add exploratory testing.

‍

2. QA Is Always Behind Development


⏱️ Shift testing left. Involve QA from the beginning of the sprint—not just at the end.

‍

3. Testing Is Mostly Manual


⚙️ Manual = slow and inconsistent. Start automating high-impact test cases to scale quality.

‍

4. No Clear ‘Definition of Done’


🚧 Without clear QA criteria, features ship half-tested. Define what “done” means across teams.

‍

5. Feedback Loops Are Too Slow


🗣️ Bugs reported days later slow down fixes. Integrate QA into CI/CD for faster feedback.1.

💡 A strong QA process doesn’t slow delivery—it enables it. It protects your product, your team, and your users.
