Guidelines for planning and executing tests with focus on risk, scope, automation and responsibilities.
A testing strategy defines objectives, scope, approach, roles and tooling for validating software quality throughout the development lifecycle. It aligns test types, environments and automation goals with product risks and release cadence. By standardizing responsibilities, metrics and pipelines, it enables repeatable test execution, faster feedback and more reliable releases.

Strategy prioritizes end-to-end, performance and security tests before each release.
Focus on contract tests and automated integration tests to avoid interface breakages.
Emphasis on automation, emulator and device tests and canary releases for fast feedback.
1) perform risk and scope analysis; 2) define test types and responsibilities; 3) create prioritized automation backlog; 4) integrate CI/CD pipelines and establish metrics.
start pilot projects to validate strategy patterns and make adjustments.
