How well is your QA prepared for AI?

A compact assessment over one to two weeks. Six dimensions that show where your team, your processes, and your governance stand on AI use in quality assurance — with prioritised recommendations as a roadmap into deeper advisory.

Why a readiness check

Four reasons to start in a structured way.

01

Compact format

One to two weeks, lean interviews, light load on the team. Designed as an entry point, not as a deep audit.

02

AI-specific dimensions

Use-case understanding, tool maturity, skills, data foundation, governance, integration — derived from experience, not from a textbook.

03

Clear recommendations

The result is a scorecard with prioritised recommendations for consulting, workshops, or direct rollout.

04

Entry into AI advisory

The check opens the door to fitting next steps — testing of AI, testing with AI, AI compliance, or education.

Assessment dimensions

Six perspectives on your AI maturity.

// 01

Use-case understanding

Is it clear where AI can be used meaningfully in your QA? Does the team distinguish hype topics from real levers?

// 02

Tool maturity

Which AI tools are already in use, at what maturity? How targeted is the tool selection?

// 03

Team skills

Prompting, output evaluation, governance literacy. Are the competences for AI-supported work in place?

// 04

Data foundation

Are your test data fit for AI use? How do quality, availability, and data-protection clarity look?

// 05

Governance maturity

Policies, guidelines, reporting paths. Is the frame for responsible AI use set and lived?

// 06

Process integration

How well are AI tools integrated into your QA processes, CI/CD, and review rituals? How well do they mesh?

Process

From kick-off to result.

01
Week 1
Interviews & setup review
Conversations with test, development, and leadership representatives. Review of tools, processes, and policies in use.
02
Week 2
Analysis & recommendations
Dimension-by-dimension assessment, prioritisation of action areas, derivation of fitting next steps.
03
Closing
Result presentation
Scorecard, comments per dimension, prioritised roadmap for consulting, workshops, or direct rollout.
Method toolkit

What we work with.

Maturity model

Six dimensions on a three-level scale, pragmatically scored and reasoned.

Interview guide

Structured questions per role — test, development, compliance, leadership.

Setup checklists

Review grid for tool landscape, data foundation, and process integration.

Prioritisation matrix

Action areas scored by value contribution and effort.

Roadmap template

Mapping to consulting, education, or services as the next step.

Result report

A compact document with scorecard, comments, and recommendations.

Questions

What we are often asked.

How is this different from the Quality Health Check?

The Quality Health Check assesses QA as a whole — requirements, test strategy, automation, release, governance, culture. The Readiness Check focuses exclusively on AI use in QA and assumes less prior knowledge.

How deep can the check go in one to two weeks?

Deep enough to clearly prioritise action areas. Not deep enough to already work out concrete tool recommendations or policies — that is the job of the next steps.

What happens after the result presentation?

You get the roadmap and decide which next steps to take. We accompany further or step back here — both are legitimate.

Does this make sense if we are not yet using AI?

Especially then. The Readiness Check shows where you have the biggest levers at the entry point and where to invest first — team, data, governance, or tools.

How does this connect with AI compliance?

The governance dimension is part of the Readiness Check. For serious gaps we point to deeper advisory in AI Compliance for AIMS rollout per ISO 42001.
