In my experience the most important standards to assess the QA standards are through test metrics and KPIs. Test metrics like Test coverage, Automation Coverage, Defect leakage, Defect density, Test cycle time, Test design coverage, Test tracking and efficiency etc help us to gauge in the right direction if we are testing the product right. These metrics should be calculated with accurate and reliable data which sometimes can be challenging when relying on manual inputs.

I agree, the only thing I add will be "keep it simple" and "keep it low", and remember that in the mlst innovative products the customer doesn't know what they want
