QA Playbook
Certyn's practical testing playbook for product teams using AI-assisted browser QA.
The QA Playbook is Certyn's shared testing methodology. It explains how to design useful tests, judge risk, write actionable bug reports, and decide whether a release is ready.
Ask Certyn uses this playbook as general QA guidance. For questions about Certyn product behavior, the product docs remain authoritative. For project-specific answers, Ask Certyn combines docs with project evidence such as runs, issues, metrics, wiki context, and connected tools.
How to use it
- Use the playbook to align your team on testing language and decision rules.
- Put project-specific rules in your project wiki when your policy differs from these defaults.
- Ask Certyn for recommendations when you need methodology, and ask for evidence when you need a project decision.
