Test Capability Roadmap

Communicate, collaborate, deliver

An essential part of testing is understanding how and when testing will be delivered. Sometimes this can be conveyed as part of a test strategy document. However, a test roadmap provides a mental model that outlines the test programme’s direction.

A test roadmap can become an essential collaborative planning tool – and as such is a great tool for communicating test plans and objectives to the wider team.

At a high level, a testing roadmap can contain areas such as:

• Testing milestones

• Quick wins – which can be delivered towards the start of the roadmap

• Strategy changes – longer term goals further down the roadmap

• Re-evaluation points to measure progress against the roadmap
