Sikorska

Product at its best (quality assurance in many areas) and friendly (user experience, usability).
Tests meaningful and useful, simple as possible, yet no simpler and smooth (test automation, test tools development, CI/CD).
Documentation ease of use and longevity (technical writing, knowledge sharing, "one look to understand" docs).
Organization of test cases (ease of use, understanding) and traceability.
