Workflow Templates: Post-Deployment Testing Checklist

Verify that all features work according to the specifications and requirements documents

Test each input field for proper validation and ensure that all error messages display as expected

Check that all user roles and permissions are correctly implemented and enforced

Ensure that the application integrates correctly with all external systems and APIs

Confirm that data flows seamlessly between integrated modules and systems without loss or corruption

Validate that any third-party services (like payment gateways, analytics, etc.) are working as intended within the application

Monitor application performance under expected and peak load conditions to ensure stability

Analyze response times and system behavior to identify and address any bottlenecks

Evaluate the application’s scalability by incrementally increasing the load and observing the impact on performance

Conduct vulnerability assessments and penetration testing to identify potential security issues

Check for proper encryption of sensitive data both in transit and at rest

Review and test authentication and authorization mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access

Check for visual consistency across different devices and screen sizes

Test all interactive elements, such as buttons, links, and forms, to ensure they function correctly

Verify that the application adheres to accessibility standards, ensuring it is usable by people with disabilities

Run the full regression suite to ensure that recent changes have not adversely affected existing functionality

Test critical workflows end-to-end to confirm that the application behaves correctly

Review and update automated test scripts to cover any new or changed features
