Product Managers & Testing
How Involved Should You Be?
Your Product, Your Responsibility-But Where Does Testing Fit?
Your last few dark launches didn't go as planned. Issues slipped into production, and now you're facing the heat.
Your QA team is still scaling, and while better testing could have caught some of the problems, you're not sure if it would have prevented all of them.
Where does a PM's responsibility for quality begin and end?
As a PM, you're not expected to run test cases or build automation scripts-but you are expected to ensure that the product is ready to ship with confidence. That means:
Knowing the risks of your product and ensuring they are mitigated
Making sure there's appropriate test coverage for critical workflows
Collaborating with QA and engineering to catch issues before they hit production
Taking responsibility for quality, not just features

- Ask the right questions about test coverage and risk
- Validate that testing aligns with customer use cases

Your Next Release Shouldn't Be a Gamble
