qa

Automated QA testing systematically evaluates a web application to identify defects, apply fixes, and document ship readiness. It uses atomic commits for each bug fix and re-verifies the application to ensure traceability and validate production readiness.

QA testing tiers provide varying levels of coverage depth, from Quick basic checks to Exhaustive full validation. Each tier reports before and after health scores, fix evidence, and ship-readiness summaries to match the required validation rigor for the feature branch.

Verify ship readiness by running a QA cycle on the feature branch to evaluate pass/fail criteria. The process generates health scores and a ship-readiness summary, ensuring all blockers are fixed and re-verified through atomic commits before production deployment.

Ensure traceability by using an atomic commit workflow where each bug fix is committed separately. The QA process logs outcomes and re-verifies each fix, documenting the evidence needed to track changes from defect identification through final resolution.

Yes, QA cycles are designed to test feature branches independently. This isolates the verification process, allowing you to catch regressions early, document fixes, and confirm ship readiness without impacting the stability of the main codebase.

Re-verifying bug fixes after committing ensures that the applied changes actually resolve the defect without introducing new regressions. This validation step updates the application's health score and confirms the overall ship readiness of the feature branch.
