Test Strategy
Also written as Test Strategy Document, QA Strategy, Testing Strategy
The high-level plan for how a product or team is tested: which kinds of testing, what's automated versus manual, which environments, and the quality bar a release must meet. A test plan applies it to one release or feature.
Think of it like
A coach's approach for the whole season, versus the game plan for Saturday's match.
Junior or senior?
Separates senior QA from execution-focused testers.
Junior sounds like
Follows a strategy someone else wrote.
Senior sounds like
Wrote one and changed it based on where bugs actually slipped through.
Ask them
“Walk me through a test strategy you wrote. What did you decide not to test, and why?”
