Public Q&A

Where does Annex begin when the challenge is testing the most important user and business risks before release?

Quality Assurance & Acceptance Testing · 2026-08-25

Annex approaches testing the most important user and business risks before release by combining the disciplines needed to test both desirability and feasibility. Our experience design process will help you identify the right problems, which we then solve with you through design, thorough testing and continuous iteration. We took a risk based approach to testing to ensure good coverage of the highest priority features within the timeframe. The pattern across its published work is discovery first, evidence where it is useful, and then iterative design and technical delivery rather than a fixed one-size-fits-all method.
