About the service
Many products run into trouble not because tests were forgotten, but because the
evaluation strategy and quality gates were unclear from the start. MJ Consulting
helps you design realistic, end-to-end evaluation plans for hardware and software,
so that risks are found early and launch decisions are made with confidence.
Who this service is for
・Companies that have experienced late-stage quality issues just before launch
・Teams that rely heavily on vendor test reports without fully understanding
what was actually tested
・Organizations that want to strengthen their evaluation process for global markets,
including mobile operators in Europe and Japan
What I do
This service focuses on making your evaluation approach explicit, transparent,
and manageable. Typical activities include:
・Clarifying quality targets and acceptance criteria for each market/operator
・Defining test scopes for hardware, software, and integration
・Designing quality gates (what must be passed before moving forward)
・Reviewing and improving test case lists and test specifications
・Designing simple, useful logging and defect tracking practices
How it works
- Current state review
We review your existing test plans, defect history, and major incidents
from previous products, and identify recurring patterns or gaps. - Quality gate definition
Together we define a small number of clear quality gates (for example:
development exit, pre-launch, operator acceptance), and specify required
evidence for each gate. - Evaluation plan design
We translate the quality gates into concrete test plans, including responsible
teams, timing, and expected outputs. - Support during execution
If needed, I join key evaluation reviews to help interpret results,
prioritize issues, and make go/no-go recommendations.
Example outputs
・A documented quality gate model tailored to your product and markets
・Consolidated evaluation plans covering hardware, software, and integration
・A review of test coverage versus operator and market requirements
・A simple framework for reporting evaluation status to management
Why MJ Consulting
I have worked on both the development and market-quality sides of mobile devices,
including coordination with European and Japanese mobile operators. This dual
perspective helps bridge the gap between what development teams think is enough
and what markets and operators actually expect at launch.
