Context
Teams were shipping quickly, but inconsistent validation standards and defect leakage reduced release predictability and system reliability.
What I Did
- Designed structured pre-release validation gates integrated into delivery workflows.
- Strengthened test planning and triage processes to improve signal quality.
- Standardized quality expectations across delivery teams.
Outcomes
- Defect leakage rate reduced by 14%.
- Failed deployment frequency reduced from 7 to 4 per month.
- QA cycle time improved by 18% (from 2.8 days to 2.3 days).
