Manual QA cannot keep up with daily hot updates. Layer these automated validations to catch regressions while maintaining velocity.
1. Static and Unit Testing
Lint scripts, TypeScript checks, and Jest suites should run on every pull request. Failing commits never reach the packaging stage. Feed coverage snapshots into your release reports to show progress.
2. Device-Level Smoke Tests
Fast, deterministic, perfect for validating UI flows.
Catch hardware quirks. Capture install duration metrics for the KPI dashboard.
Deploy to a trusted ring described in our rollout guide.
3. Automated Sign-off
Create a pipeline stage that validates bundle size budgets, executes security scans from the security checklist, and requires at least two approvals before publishing. The pipeline posts status to Slack or Teams so everyone sees progress.
When automated QA becomes routine, engineers can merge confidently and your support team sees fewer regressions. That is the compounding value of hot updates done right.
