Same Old Story: Foundation of the QA Department. Tips and Tricks
summary
Describes building an in‑house QA department at a non‑IT TV company: hiring a team in about 1.5 months, replacing outsourced testing to reduce costs, and integrating QA with release candidates and CI. Emphasizes that most issues (95%) are communication problems, addresses survivor bias, uses Confluence for onboarding and a test‑management tool (considering alternatives to TestRail/Xray) to store checklists and critical checks, and implements short probation deadlines, PDCA cycles, test servers, verification gates, and reporting—while acknowledging a misestimate of required headcount.
