Abstract: The modern development process heavily relies on cross-functional teamwork to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of Quality Assurance automation's software testing activities. A defective communication pathway resulting from separate work environments between development and testing teams and operations personnel leads to processing delays in feedback and project goal distractions that cause increased inefficiencies and product defects. This analysis investigates how cross-functional teamwork integration in software testing processes impacts defect discovery rate together with test scope achievement rates and deployment duration reduction and defect escape rate decrease. Better software quality combined with market launch speed occurs when organizations implement agile methods with DevOps practices and automatic testing frameworks that provide teams a mechanism for information exchange while receiving performance insights about common target goals. The study validates the improvement of testing efficiency through multidisciplinary team collaboration by using quantitative assessment techniques. When implemented through a standardized system test teams can obtain solutions to overcome standard collaboration challenges that encompass self-sufficient teams and resistance to change and divergent testing demands. Organizations should adopt team-based testing practices because they enhance software quality assurance operations and both reduce faults and quicken development timelines.
