Define completion clearly
Agree what a feature must do, how it will be tested, and what remains outside scope. Clear acceptance criteria help the team review delivery without relying on subjective impressions. Leave the team with a decision, an owner, and a review date.
Use business-owned distribution accounts and document approval, updates, monitoring, and support. Store release needs planning beyond the code. Keep account ownership with the business.
Integration boundaries
Document APIs, authentication, failure handling, and data ownership. Test slow responses and unavailable external systems, not just the successful path. List the required outputs before setting the delivery schedule.
Test representative devices, permissions, interrupted connections, and failed inputs. Define acceptance checks with the people who will use the product. Check what happens after the customer clicks, submits, or calls.
