  • Keep it simple initially, add complexity where it is needed
  • Identify Roles and Responsibilities
  • Common tools and repositories
  • Identify and document processes
  • Start with targeted manual testing, prioritize automation
• Identify risks, determine the execution order of the test cases
• Communications
