Episode 2: The Evolution of Test Strategy to Quality Strategy

In this second episode of Quality Unfiltered, Parveen Khan and Suman Bala take a nostalgic trip back 10-15 years to explore how test strategies has transformed from those massive documents nobody read into living, collaborative quality strategies that the whole team truly owns.

They share their experiences of when strategies worked, when they didn't, and why context matters more than following a template.

Here's what they covered:

*Why language matters in the shift from “test strategy” to “quality strategy”
*Moving from 40-page documents to collaborative Miro/Mural boards
*When you actually need a documented strategy (and when you don't)
*Using testing models like Dan Ashby's Continuous Testing and Janet Gregory & Lisa Crispin's *Holistic Testing approach.
*Why non-functional requirements should be reframed as "quality attributes" or "cross-functional requirments"
*Do we even need strategy documents in fast-paced environments?
*Real stories of strategies that never got used (and what we learned)
*Team-level vs org-level quality strategies – key differences
