Practice assurance overview
Counts represent example teams, not actual compliance results. Select each practice in your governance process to drill into team-level evidence and actions.

What assurance should establish
A practice is not assured simply because a tool or process exists. Assess the full chain from adoption to outcomes.
AdoptionIs the practice in place and used by the team?
EvidenceCan its operation be verified with current, reliable evidence?
EffectivenessDoes it produce the intended engineering or risk outcome?
Exceptions & remediationAre gaps recorded, owned and resolved within agreed timeframes?
Assurance signals to investigate
Automation is not proof of test quality
A CI pipeline may exist while critical tests are missing, unreliable or ineffective.
Monitoring is not proof of reliability
Confirm that alerts are actionable and services meet their reliability objectives.
Overdue actions need explicit ownership
Track accountable owners, agreed due dates, accepted exceptions and escalation paths.
