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. Use the findings to update the brief for the next stage.
Use business-owned distribution accounts and document approval, updates, monitoring, and support. Store release needs planning beyond the code. Make sure the business can retrieve its own data.
Integration boundaries
Document APIs, authentication, failure handling, and data ownership. Test slow responses and unavailable external systems, not just the successful path. Define the deliverables and exclusions before work starts.
Test representative devices, permissions, interrupted connections, and failed inputs. Define acceptance checks with the people who will use the product. Verify the next step while there is still time to correct a problem.
