QAsessie

QAsessie is a framework and platform for evaluating quality assurance practices in software development. It combines a structured assessment method with reporting tools to measure QA effectiveness across a project or organization.

Core components include standardized assessment templates, rubrics to rate practices against defined quality attributes, and a scoring system that aggregates evidence from test results, defect data, and process artifacts into a single maturity or readiness score.

Methodology uses a multi-criteria model anchored to attributes such as reliability, usability, performance, security, and maintainability. Assessments draw from test plans, defect trends, automation coverage, data quality, and process adherence, with maturity levels described from Ad hoc to Optimized.

Implementation supports integration with common QA and development tools (issue trackers, test management, CI/CD), offers dashboards and reports, and allows customization of rubrics. It can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud and supports collaborative assessment among QA leads, developers, and product owners.

Impact and usage: Organizations use QAsessie to identify gaps in QA coverage, align QA goals with business objectives, and prepare for audits or certifications. It is used by software teams, QA consultancies, and training programs to track progress.

Limitations: The value depends on input data quality and consistent rubric application. Scores should complement qualitative reviews, not replace them, and require ongoing maintenance to reflect changing project contexts.
