Turn research into practical Quality Engineering action.
For organizations rethinking their Quality Engineering operating model for AI-enabled and agentic systems. Start small, prove value, then scale.

30/60/90 Intelligent QE Pilot
- Best for
- Proving a new approach before investing more
- Duration
- About 90 days
- Scope
- One use case, one team
- You get
- Evaluation summary and a scale / no-scale recommendation
QE Transformation & Advisory
- Best for
- Lasting change in operating model, governance and adoption
- Duration
- Typically 3–6 months, part-time
- Scope
- Begins with a 2-week discovery; duration and scope agreed to your needs
- You get
- Operating model, governance and adoption support
An evidence-based view of your Quality Engineering, in about two weeks
Assessed across nine dimensions and five maturity levels. See the IQE Maturity Model →
Who It's For
Designed for organizations that already have Quality Engineering, test automation or modern software delivery capabilities but need a clearer view of:
- How effective those capabilities are today
- Where important capability gaps remain
- Whether current automation is translating into stronger delivery confidence
- Where AI could realistically strengthen Quality Engineering
- What should be prioritized next
Key Questions
Is automation improving delivery, or are we primarily automating more tests?
Where are our most important Quality Engineering capability gaps?
Do our quality metrics show business and delivery outcomes, or mainly testing activity?
Where could AI realistically improve Quality Engineering?
Are our people, processes, architecture, data and governance ready for more intelligent QE?
What should we prioritize over the next 90 days?
Typical duration: approximately 2 weeks, depending on agreed scope and stakeholder availability.
- Discover
- Assess
- Analyze
- Recommend
- One organization and one agreed business or technology scope
- Up to 2 QE/engineering teams or one representative program
- Up to 5 stakeholder interviews, approximately 45 minutes each
- One structured questionnaire across the nine assessment dimensions
- Review of up to 10 agreed artifacts — for example, QE strategy, automation architecture, CI/CD quality gates, quality metrics, test-data/environment approach or AI/QE plans
- One analysis and scoring cycle
- One executive findings workshop/readout, up to 90 minutes
- One final Executive QE Capability & Readiness Report with a 30/60/90-day roadmap
The assessment concludes with the Executive QE Capability & Readiness Report, including:
- Current-state maturity profile
- Evidence-based observations
- Priority capability gaps
- Relevant Intelligent QE opportunities
- Prioritized recommendations
- A practical 30/60/90-day roadmap
An executive findings readout to walk through the report with your team.
- A senior sponsor and primary point of contact
- Access to agreed stakeholders
- Agreed QE/engineering artifacts
- Timely context and factual validation
- Participation in the findings readout
Shared materials should be approved for review and should not contain unnecessary secrets or sensitive production data.
- Source-code review
- Penetration or security testing
- Production-data analysis
- Direct production access
- Hands-on remediation or implementation
- Automation-framework development
- AI-agent development
- Tool migration
- Enterprise-wide, multi-business-unit assessment unless separately scoped
- Regulatory, legal, compliance or security certification
The assessment does not guarantee maturity improvement, cost savings, AI readiness or business outcomes.
A decision point, not a commitment
The Intelligent QE Maturity Assessment is best suited to organizations that need a structured view of current capability, gaps and priorities. A narrowly defined engineering problem may be better addressed through a focused diagnostic or pilot.
Understand where your Quality Engineering stands today.
