Start with critical journeys
List the actions that would cause real disruption if they failed: enquiries, purchases, sign-in or staff updates. Test each with representative information. A page loading successfully is not proof that its form or connected workflow works.
Test negative cases
Try missing required fields, invalid values and unavailable services. Confirm that the user receives an honest message and can recover without losing unnecessary work. Check that repeated submissions do not create duplicate actions where this matters.
Check real viewing conditions
Review phone layouts, keyboard navigation and readable contrast. Test representative content lengths rather than only short sample text. Images, menus and controls should remain understandable when the screen is narrow or the connection is slower.
Record the release decision
Keep a concise list of checks, results and unresolved issues. Fix critical failures before launch and assign owners to lower-priority follow-ups. Repeat affected checks after a material change so the final release is the version that was actually reviewed.
