Scope the claim
Define the software claim, release risk, workflow, buyer question, or technical diligence concern.
Process
A practical path from product claim to reviewable evidence.
The process is designed for software teams that need clear testing work, documented outcomes, and a package a customer, investor, or procurement team can understand.
How the method works
The same discipline applies whether the work is QA, third-party testing, or an evidence package.
Gear Six starts by defining the claim, release, workflow, API, or buyer question that needs to be tested. From there, the work is scoped into testable cases, executed against a defined environment and software version, documented through defects and retests, and packaged into evidence another reviewer can understand.
Build the test plan
Map test cases, environments, data assumptions, acceptance expectations, and evidence outputs.
Execute and document
Run tests, record outcomes, attach screenshots/logs, and capture environment/version context.
Classify defects
Log defects with severity, reproducibility, affected workflows, and release-readiness implications.
Retest fixes
Verify remediation where fixes are delivered and keep a record of retest status.
Deliver buyer-ready evidence
Package the scope, records, results, defect history, retest notes, and executive summary.
Start with a defined scope
Bring us the release, workflow, API, or product claim that needs to be tested.
Gear Six can help turn an open-ended software concern into a scoped testing path, documented findings, and reviewable evidence.
