Progress is tracked on asset uptime and mean time to repair.

For them, our manual testing services typically starts with exploratory testing (unscripted, time-boxed sessions that hunt for edge cases and unusual user paths) and adds smoke and sanity checks as the platform grows. Progress is tracked on onboarding completion rate and time to approve an application.
