KomenzeDesign a QA workflow that connects test runs, builds, defects, release blockers and production readiness without losing context between teams.
Anchor QA to a build
Validation should reference a specific build or candidate. Without that link, a passed test can become meaningless after new changes enter the branch.
Define checks before execution
Use a repeatable set of checks appropriate to the product: smoke, functional, regression, integration, platform or migration validation. Not every release needs identical depth, but the required set should be intentional.
Turn failures into connected work
When QA finds a defect, create or link the work item without losing the failing check, build and reproduction context. This reduces back-and-forth between QA and engineering.
Separate defects from release blockers
Every defect matters, but not every defect blocks a release. Explicit severity and release-blocking state help teams make the trade-off visible.
Retest the right candidate
After a fix, make clear whether the original build is obsolete and which new candidate contains the change. The QA history should make this sequence understandable.
Carry evidence into release readiness
A release view should summarize required checks, pass/fail state, unresolved blockers and candidate identity. That gives decision-makers evidence rather than a verbal “QA is done.”
Put it into practice.
Keep the context attached to the work.
Komenze connects conversations, tasks, engineering evidence, builds, QA and releases so teams can move from decision to delivery without rebuilding the story.
