Eight dimensions

Overall score = sum of each dimension score divided by 10 and multiplied by its weight. Outcome verifiability counts metrics with a stated baseline and method.

1. Case volume and specificity (weight 20)10 / 10

Measured: 22.5 weighted cases. 61 verified cases: A 0, B 14, C 47, weighted 1.0, 0.6 and 0.3.

Records: a1qa-1, a1qa-2, a1qa-3, a1qa-4, a1qa-5, a1qa-6, a1qa-7, a1qa-8, a1qa-9, a1qa-10, a1qa-11, a1qa-12, a1qa-13, a1qa-14, a1qa-15, a1qa-16, a1qa-17, a1qa-18, a1qa-19, a1qa-20, a1qa-21, a1qa-22, a1qa-23, a1qa-24 and 37 more

2. Framework breadth (weight 10)10 / 10

Measured: 8 frameworks. Frameworks with at least one A or B case: Selenium WebDriver, REST Assured, Playwright, Cucumber, SpecFlow, Behave, Apache JMeter, Postman and Newman, Gatling, Detox.

Records: a1qa-1, a1qa-4, a1qa-5, a1qa-23, a1qa-29, a1qa-63, a1qa-2, a1qa-3, a1qa-9, a1qa-67, a1qa-7, a1qa-11, a1qa-25, a1qa-30

3. Framework depth (weight 15)10 / 10

Measured: 26 cases on Postman and Newman. Most cases on a single framework: Postman and Newman.

Records: a1qa-4, a1qa-6, a1qa-9, a1qa-11, a1qa-12, a1qa-14, a1qa-15, a1qa-16, a1qa-24, a1qa-25, a1qa-30, a1qa-31, a1qa-32, a1qa-33, a1qa-34, a1qa-39, a1qa-41, a1qa-42, a1qa-60, a1qa-62, a1qa-64, a1qa-67, a1qa-70, a1qa-72 and 2 more

4. Migration evidence (weight 10)0 / 10

Measured: 0 migration cases with before and after. 1 case tagged as migration; 0 state a before and an after value.

5. Outcome verifiability (weight 15)3 / 10

Measured: 14 of 98 metrics. 14 of 98 published metrics state both a baseline and a method.

Records: a1qa-1, a1qa-2, a1qa-3, a1qa-4, a1qa-5, a1qa-9, a1qa-23, a1qa-25, a1qa-29, a1qa-30, a1qa-63

6. Third-party review signal (weight 10)0 / 10

Measured: 0 reviews naming a framework. No verified review within 60 months names a listed framework.

7. Public engineering output (weight 10)3 / 10

Measured: 2 items. Dated posts, talks or repositories by staff about a listed framework within 36 months.

Records: ev-a1qa-005, ev-a1qa-006

8. Transparency (weight 10)7.5 / 10

Measured: 3 of 4 items. Disclosed: public rate, QA process page, delivery locations. Not found: named leadership with profiles.

Records: ev-a1qa-003, ev-a1qa-004, ev-a1qa-002

baseline:: The measured value before the work started, against which a later value is compared. source
