Receive build
QA gets a build, ticket, or feature after development is ready.

QA maturity level
Using the AI-enabled strategy, your QA team spends less time on the operation phase, shifting to optimize the process to reduce release risk.
Level 1 QA process
At level 1, QA is mostly reactive. The team receives work late, validates manually, reports defects, and repeats checks until the release is accepted.
QA gets a build, ticket, or feature after development is ready.
Test scope is interpreted from stories, notes, and team context.
Checks are executed by hand, often focused on visible behavior.
Issues are reported back to engineering with evidence and notes.
QA repeats affected checks until the team is comfortable shipping.
Level 1 QA can protect releases, but it depends heavily on individual effort. The next maturity step is making this work repeatable, documented, and easier to measure.

Level 5 QA process
At level 5, QA is optimized and continuously improving. Inspired by TMMi optimization and MITRE AI maturity guidance, the team uses trusted data, responsible AI workflows, and quality signals to prevent defects before release risk grows.
QA reviews current coverage across requirements, user journeys, risk areas, and recent product changes.
AI proposes scenarios from requirements and product behavior, while QA validates relevance, risk, and expected outcomes.
AI drafts automation coverage, and QA reviews stability, maintainability, data needs, and integration with the test pipeline.
Quality signals are monitored across defects, reliability, test results, and customer impact.
Lessons from each release feed back into requirements, design, engineering, and QA strategy.
Level 5 QA shifts the team from finding defects late to preventing them early. AI supports the process, but the operating model stays governed, measurable, and aligned with business outcomes.

Google AI testing pyramid
Google Cloud describes agent testing as a three-tier strategy: start with automated unit checks, validate full agent journeys with integration tests, and reserve expert human review for quality, nuance, and correctness.
Reference: Google Cloud Agent Factory recap.
Human review in QA process remains essential for judgment, nuance, and accountability. AI improves efficiency with clearer coverage, smarter test scenarios, faster automation review, and stronger signals for confident release decisions.
