- Applied techniques like BVA, EP, decision tables?
- Linked tests to stories/requirements?
🧼 Execution Time:
- Environment clean and stable?
- Bugs logged with clarity (and not passive-aggressive comments)?
- Did you try to break it like a user would?
🛡️ Final Checks:
- Cleaned up test data and environment?
- Re-ran failed cases with fixes?
- Smiled because the app didn’t collapse? 😄
