Stacked Testing

Accelerate time to market while maintaining quality by restructuring how testing activities are planned and executed—enabling earlier validation, earlier UAT exposure, and smoother deployments.
The Approach

Testing in parallel, not in sequence

Content

Stacked Testing is a quality-driven testing approach that overlaps and layers testing activities rather than executing them sequentially. By planning product-centric solutions using a test-driven delivery model early in the lifecycle, teams can begin functional, integration, end-to-end, and regression testing incrementally instead of waiting until late-stage system integration.

This approach reduces execution windows without taking shortcuts, improves functional testing effectiveness, and enables earlier introduction of smart automation, even before full automation maturity is achieved.

Audience

Designed for programs and projects under pressure to deliver faster without compromising quality. It appeals to development teams, Quality Engineering leaders, and business stakeholders seeking to break free from long testing cycles.

Value

Stacked Testing shortens delivery timelines while preserving testing depth and rigor. Teams gain earlier feedback and faster defect resolution, reduced technical debt, and improved confidence in deployment readiness, ultimately accelerating time to market without sacrificing quality.

Layered Quality

Testing in perfect layers

Stacked testing builds confidence through overlapping checks that illuminate risk from multiple angles. Each layer adds a distinct lens so gaps surface early and quality holds all the way to release.
