Prove the critical journey
Test the actual path the user relies on, including permissions and failure recovery. Do not substitute a screenshot or successful build for behavior.
Preserve the last good state
Capture source and data recovery points appropriate to the change. Verify that the backup corresponds to the baseline.
Keep claims in scope
Describe exactly what passed. Avoid security, compliance, or production-readiness claims that exceed the available evidence.
Verify the deployed result
Confirm the intended version is being served. Record the outcome and open findings before moving on to the next change.
A concrete starting point.
A release receipt should say which routes and interactions were checked, which version was served, and whether any required service was unavailable.
