 Leverage market calendars and stay updated
 Refresh/Review your test lab once a quarter
 Beta versions are no longer an option
 Chrome, FireFox, iOS
 Leverage analytics but validate and calibrate using market trends
 Real user conditions extends your test coverage
 Assign an owner for digital test coverage but keep the conversation open to all
teams
 Mix your mobile test lab with the 4 device types
